• MAC address - the same as hardware address.
• Netmask - a logical hexadecimal number that prevents accessing
hosts outside of its range. A bit value of zero allows access and a
non-zero blocks access.
• Subnet - a logical grouping of hosts based on their IP addresses.
• TCP/IP - a communication protocol suite that is used for the
Internet and a large number of LANs that allows hosts to share
data.
• Telnet - a communication program used primarily to issue
commands directly to a TCP/IP-based host.
Preparing for
Network
Installation
Equipment Required:
• Network enabled Personal Computer (IBM-compatible);
• SOLAIR 1.0 CFM
Note:
The network
where the instruments will
operate must have an
available IP address for
each
instrument. The IP
scheme, or subnet, must
match that of the PC that
will be used to retrieve the
data from the instruments.

or 541-770-5905 (Outside
of USA) for additional
information.
• Small 5-port hub or switch and two 3-foot long straight-through
Cat5 Ethernet cables (For connection to network)
• Or one 3-foot cross-over Cat5 Ethernet cable (For connection to a
PC)
Software Required:
Contact the network administrator if any of the following are not
installed or not functional:
• Windows 2000, XP Professional, or Windows 7
• Telnet
Note:
All values in
screen shots are examples
only. Use only the values
provided by the Network
Administrator.
Additional Requirements:
1. Contact the network administrator and obtain administrator rights
on the PC to be used for this procedure.
2. For each unit to be attached, obtain an unused static IP address,
Gateway IP address and the appropriate Netmask for the LAN in
which they will be installed.
3. Create a list and record the MAC address(es) for all SOLAIRs to
be configured. It is suggested that the IP address that will be used
for each SOLAIR be written next to the MAC address. This list
can be provided to the network administrator for future reference.
4. The PC being used to program the SOLAIR must be using the
same subnet that the adapter will use. See the network
administrator for assistance with this.
