    Hosted Module Support Hosted Module Support The G1369C LAN Interface Card is able to host a so- called Agilent Hosted Module (e.g. Universal Valve Drive, G1170A). This functionality can be used when the HPLC system does not include a module with integraded LAN interface (G4212A/B DAD, G4220A/B Pump, G1315/65C/D, G1314D/E/F VWD).
  • Page 52 “Firmware Update” on page 58. • Install the G1369C LAN Card in a module with LAN card slot (preferentially a detector, e.g. G1314C). In 1100/1200/1260/1290 systems, the LAN Interface Card should be installed in the N O T E detector (DAD, MWD, FLD, VWD, RID) due to its higher data handling rate.
