Next, the product’s communications settings must be restored to default values. This will
guarantee that its IP address is known. Follow the procedure described in Section 3 to
accomplish this. If you’re sure that the communications settings haven’t been changed
since the product was received from Thermo Fisher Scientific, then this step can be
skipped.
Next, an isolated network must be set up consisting of a computer and an Ethernet
DataStick, and the IP address of the computer must be changed so it can communicate
with the DataStick. Follow the procedure below to accomplish this. Windows xp is
used, but Windows 2000 and Vista, as well as other operating systems, will also work.
An isolated network can be constructed in several different ways depending upon the
equipment that’s available.
If you have the following equipment:
•
power injector
•
CAT5 cross-over cable
then a network like the one shown in Figure 28 or Figure 29 can be constructed.
