B.8 Connecting the workstation (systems with no ACQUITY
LC)
Before connecting the workstation to the instrument, set up the workstation according to its
accompanying instructions. Locate the workstation within three meters (ten feet) of the mass
spectrometer.
Requirement:
Use shielded network cables with the mass spectrometer to ensure compliance
with FCC limits.
B.8.1 Connecting to the workstation
To connect the workstation:
1.
Connect the monitor to the workstation PC.
2.
Connect one end of the shielded, crossover, network cable to the port labeled instrument
LAN on the workstation rear panel.
3.
Connect the free end of the shielded, crossover, network cable to the Ethernet port in the
top, right-hand corner of the mass spectrometer’s rear panel.
B.9 Connecting Ethernet cables (systems with ACQUITY LC)
Requirement:
Use shielded network cables with the mass spectrometer to ensure compliance
with FCC limits.
To make Ethernet connections:
1.
Connect one end of one shielded Ethernet cable to the ACQUITY instrument’s network
switch, and then connect the free end to the Ethernet card on the preconfigured ACQUITY
workstation.
Tip:
On preconfigured systems, the Ethernet card is identified as the Instrument LAN card.
2.
Connect one end of the other shielded Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port in the top, right-
hand corner of the mass spectrometer’s rear panel, and then connect the free end to the
ACQUITY instrument’s network switch.
