Direct Connection

Thermo Fisher Scientific
Configure iPort as appropriate for your particular type of connection. Refer
to iPort Instruction Manual for additional firmware communications and
connection information.
Note If 81i is in Service mode, it will ignore 80i commands.
1. After the 81i initializes, from the 81i Main Menu, select Instrument
Controls > Communication Settings > TCP IP Settings, and set as
follows:
a. Set TCP/IP DHCP to OFF
b. Set IP address to 192.168.1.201 (left justify)
2. From the 80i Main Menu, select Instrument Controls >
Communication Settings > TCP IP Settings, and set DHCP to OFF.
Ensure IP address differs from but is close to the 81i IP address, such as
192.168.1.200.
3. Under Main Menu, select Instrument Controls > Service Mode, and
turn Service mode ON.
The Service mode must be ON in order to change Cal Enable.
4. Return to Main Menu, select Diagnostics > System Configuration,
and set the 81i Cal Enable to YES.
5. Return to System Configuration, enter the 81i TCP/IP address as
displayed on the 81i (left justify).
6. Repeat the power-up sequence and ensure the 80i/81i/82i are
communicating.
If the instruments in the Mercury System are not communicating as
expected, check that the correct cables are being used and that they are
connected properly.
When connecting instruments within the Mercury System directly, use a
crossover cable.
