2.6.1 Connecting the Ethernet cable
A Waters instrument communicates with the acquisition computer through the dedicated local area
network (LAN). At the acquisition computer, the instrument network card provides the interface
that makes communication possible.
You must install the Waters instrument software driver on the acquisition computer so that the
computer can control the instrument. See the software installation instructions that accompany the
instrument control software.
2.6.1.1 Single Waters instrument connection
In a single Waters instrument system configuration, the connection hardware requires only one
standard Ethernet cable provided in the startup kit.
Figure 2–5: Single Waters instrument connection
2.6.1.2 Multiple Waters instrument connections
System configurations with many Waters Ethernet instruments require an Ethernet switch to
communicate multiple signals among Waters instruments and the acquisition computer.
Connection hardware requires one standard Ethernet cable per Waters instrument and a standard
Ethernet cable, to connect the network switch and the acquisition computer.
You must install the Waters instrument component software on the acquisition computer so that
the computer can control the Waters instrument. See the software installation instructions that
accompany the software instrument driver disk.
