TCC-100 Operating Instructions
Note: The subnet mask determines which part of the IP address describes the network
and which part defines the individual devices connected to the network.
Independent LANs have different network addresses. Based on the subnet mask
255.255.255.0 in the above example, the term "192.168.60" describes the
network, while "xxx" defines the individual modules connected to the network.
Case A:
Select the Specify an IP address option. Select the address from the range given below and enter
the subnet mask specified below:
IP Address: 192.168.60.xxx
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Do not enter a gateway address; no gateway is available for the instrument LAN and the
above addresses cannot be routed. Communication between the column compartment and the
Chromeleon server is always direct.
Case B:
If the range 192.168.60.xxx is already used, use a different network range for the instrument
LAN, e.g., use 192.168.61.
Important: In this case, make sure that the addresses assigned to the individual
Summit HPLC modules also start with 192.168.61.
For information about the appropriate value for your individual configuration, contact your
system administrator.
Do not enter a gateway address; no gateway is available for the instrument LAN and the above
addresses cannot be routed. Communication between the column compartment and the
Chromeleon server is always direct.
Applies to both, case A and case B
It may happen that the column compartment that you want to control via the separate 10Mbit
network adapter has already been assigned an IP address and a subnet mask. In this case, when
selecting the IP address of the network adapter of the server PC, be sure that only the last digit
differs from the IP address of the column compartment. Otherwise, it may not be possible to
address the connected Summit HPLC devices.
Example for a valid configuration for case A:
Column compartment: IP address
Server:
(xxx can be any number between 1 and 254)
192.168.60.51
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
IP address 192.168.60.50
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
