• 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.
Prepare for
Network
Installation
Equipment Required:
• Network enabled Personal Computer (IBM-compatible);
• SOLAIR 1100LD
Note:
The network
where the instruments will
operate must have an
available IP address for
each instrument. The IP
scheme (subnet) must
match that of the PC that
will be used to retrieve the
data from the instruments.

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 counter to be attached to the LAN, obtain an unused
static IP address, a Gateway IP address and 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.
5. The PC that will monitor or retrieve data from the instrument(s)
must be using the same subnet and gateway programmed on the
SOLAIRs) network interface.
