Configuring the MSD through the Web User Interface (WUI)
If your MSD does not support LVDS communications with an Agilent GC you
can use the WUI to configure the MSD network settings. Reasons that a GC
does not support configuring a 5977B MSD’s network settings from the GC
control panel include any of the following:
• LVDS communication cable does not exist between the GC and MSD
• LVDS communication is disabled in the SmartCard
• The GC is not an Agilent 7890 model with the correct firmware
To change the network settings of the MSD
This procedure assumes that the operator has access to a PC located on the
same LAN subnet as the MSD.
1 Open the top hinged cover on the MSD for accessing the analyzer to view
the eModule mini display readout.
2 Press the MSD start/stop button to start the instrument. When the
instrument has completed its startup initialization it displays the current
IP address information in the mini display readout and cycles through it
for about 10 minutes.
