Ethernet configuration
To communicate with the Waters data control system via Ethernet, an
Ethernet cable connects the pump with the system’s Ethernet network in one
of two ways:
• Directly, through the Ethernet LAN card in the data control system
• Through a network switch

IEEE-488 configuration
To communicate with the Waters data control system via IEEE-488, an
IEEE-488 cable connects the 1500-series pump to an IEEE-488 controller (a
busLAC/E™ card in the data control system for Breeze or Empower control or
to a NI GPIB card for MassLynx control). For more information, see page 2-6 .
