1.1.4 Interface Requirement
The TerraSpec spectrometer has 10/100 Base T Ethernet port. The
spectrometer with an Ethernet cross-over cable can be directly connected to
the Ethernet port provided on many laptop computers.
The TerraSpec spectrometer can communicate with the instrument controller
using an optional 802.11b wireless card. If the instrument controller is
supplied by the customer, it must be 802.11b compatible.
The TerraSpec spectrometer uses industry standard components. The
instrument controller has the same general connection speed and distance
capabilities as other 802.11b wireless devices.
For the best performance, ensure a clear line-of-sight between the
spectrometer and instrument controller. Obstructions or radio frequency
interference in close proximity can cause loss of communication or
significantly shorten the communication range.
Note: For information about configuration of the Ethernet card and cable, please
refer to the Installation Manual.
