3.3.4 LAN Installation
Tip:
Use the LAN connection only for Windows NT 4.0. For any other operating
system, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends using a USB connection. When
using a LAN connection, observe the recommendations for network operation
( → page 26).
Use the power unit and power cord shipped with the UCI to connect the instrument to a
grounded power source.
Use the LAN cable from the UCI accessories kit ( → page 47) to connect the LAN port on
the rear of UCI to the LAN port on the Chromeleon server PC.
To ensure robust communication between the UCI and the Chromeleon server through a LAN
connection, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends using an instrument LAN connection
between the UCI and the Chromeleon server PC as an instrument LAN is independent of the
office LAN. This type of connection requires that you install a separate 10Mbit network
interface card (NIC) in the Chromeleon server PC and assign
unique
IP addresses to all
connected devices. For information about how the separate network interface card is installed
in the Chromeleon server PC, refer to page 17.
If the computer already contains a second network interface card for operating other Summit
HPLC devices, the UCI can be connected to this card. For information about how to connect
the UCI using an instrument LAN under Windows NT4, see page 16.
After the LAN connection has been installed as described, follow the steps on page 27 an the
following pages to setup the UCI in Chromeleon.
Tip: Thermo Fisher Scientific cannot guarantee reliable communication when
operating the UCI on an office LAN because the load of the office LAN is a
decisive factor. Overload of the office LAN may result in timeouts and loss of
data and thus, disturb automatic operation of Chromeleon.
Therefore, the UCI should not be operated on an office LAN.
