MCS 600 Network Connection MCS 600
4.1 Manually configuring the device network (no
DHCP server)
The spectrometer and the PC's network adapter must have different IP addresses
within the same IP address range. This section describes how to modify the ad-
dress of the measuring PC's network adapter in order to establish a connection
with an MCS 600 with factory settings. Administrator rights are needed to chan-
ge these settings. If you do not have administrator rights, contact your administ-
rator.
The following information applies to Windows 7:
1. Press the Windows button and enter "Network connections".
2. Select "View network connections".
3. Double-click on the network adaptor you want to connect to the MCS 600.
Note
If you have multiple network adapters, you can identify the correct
adapter by disconnecting and reconnecting the network cable several
times. This will change the adapter's connection status.
4. In the dialog window, select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)".
5. Click the "Properties" button.
Note
Before changing the settings on your PC's network adapter, make a
note of the original settings so that you can reset them at a later point
in time.
6. The following settings should be used to enable your measuring computer's
network adapter to communicate with an MCS 600 with factory settings.
Use the following IP address:
IP address: 192.168.0.x where x is a number ranging from 1 to 254
(except for 100)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Note
Alternatively, you can use the following settings
to get a larger address range:
IP address: 192.168.y.z where y.z is a number ranging from 0.1 to 255.254
(except for 0.100) Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
If necessary, use a second network adapter for your company's network and
connecting to the Internet.
