1. Introduction
The Network Adapter from MACHEREY
‑
NAGEL is a device for the stationary use in the laboratory, which is op-
erated in combination with the spectrophotometers
NANOCOLOR
®
VIS II and UV/VIS II. The product is de-
signed to enable an easy and secure data transfer from the spectrophotometer to a network drive. The Network
Adapter supports the state of the art network protocols SMBv2 and SMBv3, whereas the spectrophotometers
independent from this product do only support the SMBv1 protocol.
The installation of the system is not a plug and play solution, but requires some IT experience.
