6.5.4
Integrating the LAN into a company network
A network administrator can integrate the LAN into your company
network. In this case you use the WAN port of the router.
There is a patch cable for the connection.
1.
Check that the IP address range of the router and of the company
network do not overlap.
2.
In case of an overlap, change the IP address range of the router.
3.
Use the patch cable to connect the router WAN port to the company
net work.
4.
Restart all devices, including the computer.
6.5.5
Controlling several systems separately in a LAN
Devices connected to a LAN communicate through ports, which are part
of the IP address. If more than one HPLC system is connected to the same
LAN and you plan on controlling them separately, you can use different
ports to avoid interference. Therefore, the port number for each device
must be changed and this same number must be entered into the device
configura tion of the chromatography software. We recommend to use the
same port number for all devices in the same system.
Note:
The port is set to 10001 at the factory. You must use the same num-
bers in the device configuration of the chromatography software as in the
device, otherwise the connection fails.
1.
Find out port number and change it on the device.
2.
Enter the port number in the chromatography software.
The connection is established.
6.5.6
Assigning IP addresses
To assign an IP address to the valve drive, it must be connected to a LAN
net work. The two LAN ports of the valve drive can be freely connected
to the PC and/or with a LAN port to another device. Note that this other
device can be connected to a third device etc., so you may add several
devices in a row.
Use the display to assign the IP address to manual or DHCP. In addi-
tion, all devices with AZURA® Neo can be set via a “routerless” APIPA
configuration.
6.5.7
Manual/DHCP
The IP address can be assigned via valve drive display. In the submenu
“Drive Setup”, you can assign whether the LAN control is set to manual or
via DHCP. For the manual control, the IP port and the IP address, netmask
and gateway must be set. For more details, (see chapter „7.6 Setting the
valve drive control“ on page 27).
