Direct connection between chromatograph and PC realized over LAN without a switch.

In case your PC and chromatograph are connected directly via LAN and autodetect is not possible, use the following configuration.

  • Note that you need a cross-over ethernet cable  (a straight-through cable is not recommended).
  • Open Windows Settings - Network & Internet - Ethernet tab - Change adapter options - right mouse click on the Local Area Connection and choose Properties.
  • In the Local Area Connection Properties, choose the item Internet Protocol Version 4 and click the Properties button.
  • In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window check the radio button Use the following IP address.
  • Fill in the IP address. The first three positions define the network and must be the same as in the device's IP address. The last position defines the device and must be unique within the network, so it must be set differently from that of the connected instrument.
  • Eventually, other Ethernet boards within the computer must not share the same network.
  • The subnet mask needs to be 255.255.255.0
