i
The number of data cables required depends on the number of PCs which are to be con-
nected to the network.
2. Connect a second straight-through cable to the LAN connector on the rear PC side,
and to the network hub.
3. Assign IP address to the spectrometer. This IP address needs to be defined by the
network administrator.
4. Assign IP address to the PC (LAN network interface card). This IP address needs to
be defined by the network administrator.
5. Check communication connection between spectrometer and PC.
Advantages of this configuration type
• Remote access to spectrometer via internet or intranet possible
• PC can access all network resources, provided you have the necessary access
rights
Disadvantages of this configuration type
• Straight-through data cables are required which are not included in the delivery
scope
• A small range of the bandwidth is available for the data transfer between spec-
trometer and PC. The measurement time may increase due to data transfer
delays. If the average transfer rate is less than the required transfer rate, the buf
-
fer in the optics controller eventually overflows and the measurement is unus-
able.
• Possible access problems caused by other PCs which also try to access the
spectrometer.
