You will find patch cables for each device and the router in the accessories
kit. To connect the router to a WAN, an additional patch cable is required,
which is not supplied within the scope of delivery.
Prerequisite
The computer has been switched off.
There is a patch cable for each device and the computer.
Process
1. Use the patch cable to connect the router and the computer. Repeat this
step to connect all devices.
2. Use the power supply to connect the router to the mains power system.
Configuring the Router
The router is preset at the factory. You will find a label at the bottom side of
the router, on which IP address, user name, and password are printed.
These information help to open the router configuration.
Process
1. To open the router configuration, start your Internet browser and enter
the IP address (not for all routers).
2. Enter user name and password.
3. Configure the router as DHCP server.
4. In the router configuration, check the IP address range and make
changes if necessary.
Result
Once the router has assigned IP addresses to all devices, the chromatogra-
phy software can be used to remotely control the system.
Integrating the LAN into a Company Network
A network administrator can integrate the LAN into your company network.
In this case you use the WAN port of the router.
Prerequisite
There is a patch cable for the connection.
Process
1. Check that the IP address range of the router and of the company net-
work do not overlap.
2. In case of an overlap, change the IP address range of the router.
3. Use the patch cable to connect the router WAN port to the company net-
work.
4. Restart all devices, including the computer.
Controlling Several Systems Separately in a LAN
Devices connected to a LAN communicate through ports, which are part of
the IP address. If more than one HPLC system is connected to the same LAN
and you plan on controlling them separately, you can use different ports to
avoid interference. Therefore, the port number for each device must be
changed and this same number must be entered into the device configura-
tion of the chromatography software. We recommend to use the same port
number for all devices in the same system.
Note:
The port is set to 10001 at the factory. You must use the same num-
bers in the device configuration of the chromatography software as in the
device, otherwise the connection fails.
Process
1. Find out port number and change it on the device.
