Chapter 4: Computer Connections & Networking - LI-COR C-DiGit User Manual

Chapter 4:
The C-DiGit Blot Scanner uses IPv4 and IPv6 Link-Local Addressing to automatically create an IP
network without any user configuration or additional servers. If you are using Windows 7, 8 or 8.1
and you experience connection problems, be sure that IPv6 is enabled on the computer.
Note: Use only the supplied USB 2.0 Type A to Type B cable or Cat. 5E RJ-45 Ethernet cable to
connect the C-DiGit Blot Scanner and computer. The Ethernet port on the C-DiGit Blot Scanner is
Auto-MDIX, so a crossover cable is not needed.
™
When Image Studio Software starts, it searches for and discovers any
C-DiGit Blot Scanners automatically. If only one instrument is found, Image Studio Application
Software establishes communication.
If more than one instrument is found, the user is presented with a list of instruments and asked
which to use.
Because the C-DiGit Blot Scanner is a networkable device, there are a variety of connection and/or
networking options available. Some networking configurations may require assistance from your IT
professional.
In general, there are two basic cabling configurations outlined below: 1) computer is connected to
C-DiGit directly via the USB cable included, or; 2) computer is connected to C-DiGit directly via the
Ethernet cable included.
