How to connect chromatograph and PC over LAN directly without a switch?

If your PC and chromatograph are connected directly via LAN and autodetect is not possible, continue with the following procedure:

  • 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 Internet Protocol Version 4 and click the Properties button.
  • Check the radio button in the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties window. 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 do not use one of the connected instruments. Eventually, other Ethernet boards within the computer must not share the same network.
  • The subnet mask needs to be 255.255.255.0
