2.10.2 Ethernet
The ProStar 325 detector requires an Ethernet connection to the
PC via a shielded twisted pair Ethernet crossover cable Category
5 or better (provided with the detector).
If connection is required to an Ethernet network, then a shielded
twisted pair Ethernet non-crossover cable Category 5 or better
will be required (not supplied).
Most PC’s come pre-configured with an Ethernet connection
either built into the motherboard or with an Ethernet network
card installed. Check that the intended PC has this configuration
and if not, a network card will have to be fitted. Refer to the
installation chapter for details.
If the user is supplying their own PC, then they are responsible
for installing and configuring the card. They are also responsible
for setting up and maintaining any LAN configuration where a
detector may be used.
All network issues are to be dealt with by the users.
2.10.3 Recommended printer/plotter
You can use any printer supported by your Microsoft Windows®
operating system.
The monitor, keyboard, printer/plotter and detector are connected
to the PC via cables that plug into the back of the PC. Please
consult your monitor and printer manuals for details of their
individual cabling requirements.
2.11 Setting up your PC
2.11.1 ProStar 325 Verify software
The ProStar 325 Verify software, compatible with Windows
2000® or Windows XP®, is to be installed on your PC. For
instructions on installing this, please refer to Section 3.8

Your Varian representative will install the ProStar 325 software
during his/her visit but installation of a Windows® operating
system is not included as part of the standard detector
installation.
