Configure the network card (see [Configuring network card settings](https://help.vicon.com/space/Connect/1614840/Configuring+network+card+settings)) :info: **Note**: Normally, you need to do this only the **first time** Shogun is installed so if you have used an earlier release of Shogun with the current network card, you can go straight to the next step. 2. Configure the firewall (see [Check firewall and anti-virus software](https://help.vicon.com/space/Connect/1607823/Configuring+network+card+settings+in+Windows+11#Check-firewall-and-anti-virus-software)).
