A BOOTP Server is used to send IP addresses to TCP/IP 
devices. 

The BOOTP Server lists Ethernet addresses along with the IP 
addresses that are to be assigned to the corresponding 
devices. 

To known how to configure the BOOTP server, refer to the 
Galaxie installation Guide. 

NOTE:

  The BOOTP server provided by the Galaxie Chromatography Data System is 

installed during the installation of the Galaxie software. 

Configuring the Driver 

The driver software configuration is done in the Galaxie 
Configuration Manager when a new chromatographic system is 
created. 

Configuring the Varian ProStar 325 UV-Vis Detector 

Click on the 

 button corresponding to the Varian ProStar 

325 driver and the configuration screen appears. 

The toolbar allows you to easily scroll through the configuration 
windows: 

  to select the first configuration window. 

  to select the previous configuration window. 

  to select the next configuration window. 

  to select the final configuration window.
