What You Have to Do First
What You Have to Do First
The instrument has an on-board LAN communication interface. Please review
the following options:
1 The instrument will be connected to the LAN: Ask your administrator to
provide you with an IP address, a subnet mask address and a gateway
address. Proceed with manual configuration (see “Manual
Configuration” on page 71). You will have to initially establish a LAN
connection using the default settings of the instrument and a crossover
LAN cable (see Table 19 on page 68).
2 The instrument and PC will be set up locally via a crossover cable or a hub:
No addresses are needed. Proceed with establishing a LAN connection
using the default settings of the instrument (see Table 19 on page 68).
3 Identification of the instrument in your LAN by MAC address: If you plan to
let a Bootp service (see “Agilent Bootp Service” on page 75) assign an IP
address please continue with locating the Media Access (MAC) address and
proceed with the respective initialization modes in “Initialization Mode
Selection” on page 65 and the installation instruction in the "Installing your
ChemStation for LC and CE" manual. Ask your administrator to provide
you with an IP address, a subnet mask address and a gateway address.
In addition to LAN communication, the instrument allows serial
communication access via the RS 232 cable to the COM port of the PC.
However, the data transfer rate would be too low for running the instrument at
full performance. This alternative data connection is only meaningful if the
Lab Advisor software is for example used for troubleshooting reasons (see
“Agilent Lab Advisor Software” on page 169).
Please see “Starting Your Computer and the Agilent ChemStation
Software” on page 81 for information on configuration of the connection
settings of the ChemStation software.
