Section 4 Connections
Purpose
Your computer and the spectrometer communicate through an Ethernet interface
(cable). You can either use a private connection (i.e. the spectrometer is connected
directly to the computer) or communicate through a Network. This section shows
how to check if the spectrometer communicates properly to the computer.
Computer or Network Connection
If the spectrometer was not connected to the computer or the network (DHCP
server), restart the spectrometer to establish proper connection.
When properly connected to the computer or the Network, the spectrometer
Network LED will turn Green and the flashing Network LED will indicate activity.
Refer to Table 2- 1.
The MAC address (located on the Product Label, refer to Labels on page 8) is used
by your computer or the Network to identify the spectrometer. Each spectrometer
has a unique MAC address.
Setting up the Ethernet Connection
The computer delivered with your spectrometer has been factory configured for the
proper connection.
If you need to configure your computer, there are two possible setups:
– The spectrometer is connected to the Network.
– The spectrometer is directly connected to the computer that requires a
Ethernet interface.
The spectrometer comes with two Ethernet cables. One, labeled Crossover cable,
is intended for a direct connection to the PC. The other Ethernet cable labelled
Straight pin cable is intended for a connection via a Network.
