    Getting Started Installing and Cabling the LAN Interface What You Have To Do First Use an ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) wrist strap when handling electronics. Refer to your N O T E instrument manual for details. 1 Remove the LAN Interface from it’s packaging. Configuration switch, “Configuration Switches”...
  • Page 18 Getting Started Installing and Cabling the LAN Interface 2 Note the MAC (Media Access Control) address for further reference. The MAC or hardware address of the LAN Interface is a world wide unique identifier. No other network device will have the same hardware address. The MAC address can be found on a label on the card (see Figure 6 page 17).
  • Page 19 Getting Started Installing and Cabling the LAN Interface In 1100/1200/1260 systems, the LAN Interface should be installed in the detector (DAD, N O T E MWD, FLD, VWD) due to its higher data handling rate. If no 1100/1200/1260 detector available, use the pump or the autosampler (in this order). The LAN Interface is shipped with the Bootp initialization mode and will use the N O T E parameters (IP, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway addresses) from a Bootp server.

  • Page 23: Bootp & Store

    Getting Started LAN Interface Configuration Bootp & Store When “Bootp & Store” is selected, the parameters obtained from a Bootp Server become the active parameters immediately. In addition, they are stored to the non-volatile memory of the card. Thus, after a power cycle they are still available.

    Getting Started LAN Interface Configuration Using Stored When initialization mode “Using Stored” is selected, the parameters are taken from the non-volatile memory of the card. The TCP/IP connection will be established using these parameters. The parameters were configured previously by one of the described methods. Non-Volatile Active Parameter...
  • Page 25 Getting Started LAN Interface Configuration Since the default IP address is a so-called local address, it will not be routed by any network device. Thus, the PC and the card must reside in the same subnet. The user may open a Telnet session using the default IP address and change the parameters stored in the non-volatile memory of the card.

  • Page 26: Link Configuration Selection

    Getting Started LAN Interface Configuration Link Configuration Selection The LAN Interface supports 10 or 100 Mbps operation in full- or half-duplex modes. In most cases, full-duplex is supported when the connecting network device - such as a network switch or hub - supports IEEE 802.3u auto-negotiation specifications.

  • Page 27: Automatic Configuration With Bootp

    Getting Started Automatic Configuration with Bootp Automatic Configuration with Bootp When automatic configuration with Bootp is selected and the LAN Interface is powered on, it broadcasts a BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) request that contains its MAC (hardware) address. A BOOTP server daemon searches its database for a matching MAC address, and if successful, sends the corresponding configuration parameters to the card as a BOOTP reply.
