Operation 4
4.10 Establishing a wired connection between BRAVO and a
data station
4.10.1 General information
Only with the optional docking station, you can establish a wired Ethernet connection
between the BRAVO analyzer and a data station (e.g. PC, notebook) for data transfer
purposes.
i
The optional docking station is not included in the standard delivery scope. But if
desired, you can reorder a docking station. For the order number, see appendix B,
section B.5.
➣ Important Note: For a wired connection between the BRAVO instrument and the
data station, a data station (e.g. PC) with Ethernet port is required.
Note: In case the data station has been delivered by Bruker, the integrated network
interface cards are labelled OPTIC CONNECTOR and LAN. The LAN port has to be
used for the connection between data station and network hub; the OPTIC CONNEC-
TOR port has to be used for the connection between data station and BRAVO analyzer.
4.10.2 Possible connection variants
Basically, the following connection variants are possible:
• Connecting the docking station directly to a stand-alone data station
• Connecting both the docking station and the data station(s) to a local area net-
work
• Connecting the docking station to a data station which is connected to a local
area network
Variant A: Connecting the docking station directly to a stand-alone data station
For establishing this connection variant, one crossover Ethernet cable with RJ45 con-
nector is required.
i
Bruker provides crossover Ethernet cables of different lengths. For the order number,
see appendix B, section B.5.
