The data cable included in the spectrometer delivery scope is a CAT5 crossover cable
(labelled “Cross-over”) with two RJ-45 plugs. This cable is only used for the direct con-
nection of VERTEX 70v to a computer. If you intend to connect the spectrometer to a
network, a different type of cable (i.e. non-crossover, CAT 5 cable for the 10Base-T Eth-
ernet standard) is required. (See appendix E.) The data cable length should not exceed
100m (without repeater).
Connect one end of the data cable to the Ethernet port (ETH) (A figure 2) and the other
end of the data cable to the RJ-45 socket of the computer network interface card. (For
detailed information refer to the computer manual.)
After having set up the data cable connection, turn on the spectrometer using the mains
switch. After a few seconds, the spectrometer beeps once and starts a self test. After
the initialization has been completed successfully, the “STATUS” LED (figure 10) turns
from red to green. Now switch on the computer and the monitor. (For information on
how to install the computer and how to set up signal and power cable connections for
the computer, monitor etc. refer to the computer manual.)

VERTEX 70v and the delivered PC
are already configured for the stand-alone opera-
tion. The spectrometer IP address is factory-set to 10.10.0.1. In case you have not pur-
chased the computer together with the VERTEX 70v spectrometer, you have to assign
an appropriate IP address to the computer to which you want to connect the spectrome-
ter. For detailed information about how to assign an IP-address to the computer refer to
appendix E.
