Switching from Direct Connection to Intranet
Connection (Networking)
During initial setup, the Direct Detect® instrument is connected directly to the computer running
the Direct Detect® software using the
crossover
10Base-T cable with RJ45 connectors provided with
the instrument (direct connection). After verification of instrument and software functionality, the
instrument can be configured to run directly from your company’s intranet (intranet connection), if
desired.
11.1 Reconfiguration Requirements
1. Confirm that the system initializes and run the PQ test (refer to section 13.5). If a full
Installation, Operation, and Process Qualification Protocol is required, perform all tests
prior to changing the connections (refer to section 14).
2. The
IP Address Change Utility
is located in C:\directdetect\IPAddressChanger. This
utility assists in the transition between direct connection to the computer and
connection via the intranet and vice versa. Two
standard
RJ45 Cat5e Ethernet cables
(not provided) are required to switch to an intranet connection.
When the
IP Address Change Utility
starts, the screen lists the requirements necessary
to perform the change in operating mode (Figure 18):
● The Direct Detect® software is not running on the computer.
● The instrument is powered on and connected, either directly to the instrument or to
the intranet.
● The software is able to locate the Direct Detect® installation folder and files
required to reconfigure the instrument.
