To configure the network interface card
The computer that is shipped with the Triple Quadrupole LC/MS is equipped
with two network cards (LAN-cards). The first LAN-card is for connection to
the “house network” (via 10/100/1000 Base-T network card). The IP address
for this card can either be “static” or dynamically assigned (e.g. obtained by a
DHCP server). By default, TCP/IP is configured as the network protocol for
this card, which is built-in to the PC.
The second LAN-card (in slot #1) is dedicated for instrument communication
with the Triple Quadrupole LC/MS and the Agilent 1100/1200 Series LC
system. This network card should NOT be connected to the site LAN.
To verify is the Instrument LAN network card settings are correct, follow these
steps.
1 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2 Double-click Network Connections.
3 Right-click the icon for the network card for the house LAN, click
Properties, and then configure the network card as needed.
Because this network card is independent from the card used for
instrument control, it may be configured using a static IP address or using a
DHCP server.
4 Right-click the icon for the network card for the Triple Quadrupole LC/MS,
click Properties, and then check that these parameters are set:
• Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
• Gateway - leave blank
Because network configurations vary widely from site to site, get assistance from an IT
representative when you connect to the site network. Configuration by an Agilent
Customer Engineer is on a best-effort basis only.
