Networking
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. When using the Windows XP operating system, all communications are
made using IPv4 only. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 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 Application 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 three basic cabling configurations outlined below: 1) computer
is connected to C-DiGit directly via the USB cable included; 2) computer is
connected to C-DiGit directly via the Ethernet cable included, or; 3) computer and
C-DiGit are connected to an existing LAN via Ethernet cables.
