4.4 Connecting the device to the computer
4.4.1 Connecting the device to the computer via LAN
Note:
HPLC devices made by KNAUER work only with IP adresses which
are assigned via IPv4. IPv6 is not supported.
This section describes how to set up an HPLC system in a local area net-
work (LAN) and how a network administrator can integrate this LAN into
your com pany network. The description applies to the operating system
Windows and all conventional routers.
To set up a LAN, we recommend to use a router. That means the following
steps are required:
On the computer, go to the control panel and check the LAN properties.
1.
Hook up the router to the devices and the computer.
2.
On the computer, configure the router to set up the network.
3.
Install the chromatography software from the data storage device.
4.
Switch on the device and run the chromatography software.
4.4.2 Configuring the LAN settings
The LAN uses only one server (which is normally the router) from that the
devices automatically receive their IP address.
In Windows®, power saving, hibernation, standby, and screen saver
must be deactived.
In case you use an USB-to-COM box, the option „Allow the computer
to turn off the device to save power“ in the devicemanager must be
deactivated for all USB hosts.
For all LAN devices: For the network adapter, the following option in
the Device Manager must be deactivated: „Allow the computer to turn
off this device to save power“.
1.
In Windows open the Network and Sharing Center.
2.
Double-click on LAN Connection.
3.

.
6.
Check the settings in the tab
General
. The correct settings for the
DHCP cli ent are:
a)
Obtain IP address automatically
b)
Obtain DNS server address automatically
7. Click on the button
OK.
4.4.3 Connecting devices with LAN
A router
2
has several LAN ports
3
and one WAN port
4
that can be used
to integrate the LAN into a wide area network (WAN), e.g. a company net-
work or the Internet. In contrast, the LAN ports serve to set up a network
from devices
1
and a computer
5
. To avoid interference, we recommend
operating the HPLC system separately from the company network.
