To turn on the functionality, press the “After restart” button so that it shows “On”. Review and accept
the legal disclaimer that pops up in order to continue. Press OK to go back to the “Settings and Updates”
screen and then press OK to restart. The instrument will restart back into Configuration Mode to
complete the next step. When rebooted, please reselect “Network” via the “Settings” drop-down menu.
Plug the HygroGen2 into your network using a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable. If network functionality is
not configured, “Network Status” will show as “down”. If it is configured, and assuming the network
cable is attached to other networking hardware, it will show as “OK”, otherwise it will show as
“unplugged”.
PLEASE note: if your instrument has serial number VCT-HG2-1280 or earlier and has NOT been serviced
since January 2013, your instrument requires a physical modification. Please contact your ROTRONIC
distributor who will arrange for this operation to be performed. Without this modification, the
Network Status will show as “unplugged” even if it is plugged in correctly. Please also note, physical
modifications made by anyone other than Authorised Service Centres will void the HygroGen2
warranty.
With the HygroGen2 plugged into a network, IP settings need to be configured. Networking addressing
can be set to obtain an address automatically via DHCP, if your network supports it, or manually via
“Static”. Please contact your local IT administrator for advice, if unsure. You may be required to advise
the network hardware (MAC) address of the instrument. This can be found in the “HygroGen2 Info” via
the “Support” drop-down menu.
