Connecting the Cables
A router
3
has several LAN ports
2
and one WAN port
4
that can be used to
integrate the LAN into a wide area network (WAN), e.g. a company network 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.
You will find patch cables for each device and the router in the accessories kit.
To connect the router to a WAN, an additional patch cable is required, which is
not supplied within the scope of delivery.
Prerequisite:
The computer has been switched off.
