AZURA® Valve Unifier VU 4.1 Instructions V6855
Result
Once the router has assigned IP addresses to all devices, the chromatogra-
phy software can be used to remotely control the system.
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.
Prerequisite
There is a patch cable for the connection.
Process
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.
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 numbers
in the device configuration of the chromatography software as in the device,
otherwise the connection fails.
Process
1. Find out port number and change it on the device.
2. Enter the port number in the chromatography software.
Result
The connection is established.
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.
