5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

2. Connecting the network cable
u Connect the network cable (crossover) to any network data connection of the device and connect it to the (practice)
network. If "smart switches" are used in the network, the cable type (1:1 or crossover cable) does not matter.
PLEASE NOTE
Should you wish to connect the steam sterilizer to a computer directly without a network connection,
use a 1:1 cable.
3. Adjusting IP addresses in the steam sterilizer
NOTICE
The setting up in the (practice) network will require in-depth understanding of the network technology.
Handling errors of IP addresses can result in malfunctions and data loss in your user network.
n IP addresses may only be set by the (practice) network system administrator.
NOTICE
If you use a subnet mask other than that set in the steam sterilizer, an IT specialist should adapt all the
IP addresses in the device.
As a matter of course: The selected computer must always have a fixed IP address, regardless of whether it is in an
automatically or manually configured network. In an automatically configured network, it is necessary to inform the DHCP
server of the area with the number or the number itself as a static IP address(es). The computer can also be assigned
multiple IP addresses if those already present in the computer are not to be used.
1. Ask the IT administrator for the IP address of the computer first or find out yourself.
2. Check whether the computer has a dynamic or a fixed IP address.
Ê The computer must be issued with a fixed IP address. Change this if necessary.
With a manually-configured (practice) network:
1. Check whether the steam sterilizer and the computer belong to a subnetwork. In the majority of cases, this usually
means that the first three numbers of the IP address of the sub network should correspond (e.g. 192.168.40.xx).
The IP addresses of the steam sterilizer and the computer must be different in the fourth number block (e.g. IP
steam sterilizer: 192.168.40.20 and IP computer: 192.168.40.140).
Ê If the IP addresses of both devices do not belong to a subnetwork, change the steam sterilizer IP address
directly in the steam sterilizer.
2. Check whether the IP address of the computer set in the steam sterilizer is correct.
Ê If the IP address of the practice computer deviates from the IP address set in the steam sterilizer, adapt the IP
address of the computer in the steam sterilizer.
With a dynamic (practice) network (DHCP):
The steam sterilizer can also be administered automatically in a dynamic network. If log output is made via FTP, the
computer should be issued with a fixed IP address which is entered on the steam sterilizer.
