3.10 Installing a Network for Tablet Access
Configuration options for networking of the Chromeleon instrument PC (IPC)
and the tablet include:
•
Ethernet (cabled) connection to IPC (see Section 3.10.2) and Ethernet
(cabled) connection to tablet (see Section 3.10.3)
•
Ethernet (cabled) connection from IPC to router (see Section 3.10.2) and
wireless connection from router to tablet (see Section 3.10.4)
•
Installations that include a local area network (LAN) in addition to the
IPC and tablet may be possible, but are outside the scope of this manual.
For assistance, contact your network system administrator.
Notes on Network Configurations
•
Before selecting a network configuration, verify that corporate IT policy
does not prohibit wireless connections.
•
The Tablet Connectivity Kit (P/N 22181-62017) provides a router that is
compatible with Ethernet and wireless connections, cables, and other
parts required for communication (see Section 3.10.1).
•
The adapter provided in the Tablet Connectivity Kit does not provide
wireless capability. The adapter changes the connector from Ethernet to
USB; this enables a connection to a USB port if a LAN port is not
available.
P
C and Tablet Communication Test
Test network communication at the following times:
•
After completing installation of the router, tablet, and IPC.
•
Whenever you want to verify that the network is working and that the
tablet and IPC are on the same network.
•
Whenever a communication error is suspected.
1. On the tablet desktop, tap the Windows start bar.
NOTE
If the tablet was not purchased from Thermo Fisher
Scientific, you must install the ICS-6000 App (see
Section 3.11.1) before testing communication.
