7.1 Configuring the Network
After network support has been installed, data can be exchanged between the instru-
ment and other computers, and network printers can be used.
Network operation is only possible if you are authorized to access network resources.
Typical resources are file directories of other computers or even central printers.
Authorization is assigned by the network or server administrator.
The operation on the network includes the following administrative tasks:

Connection to networks
Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network, consult
your network administrator, particularly for large LAN installations. Errors may affect
the entire network.
Never connect your analyzer to a network unprotected against virus infection because
this may cause damage to the instrument software.
