Connecting the NGC System to the ChromLab Computer
Note:
Ensure that the ChromLab computer and the NGC instrument are
powered off before beginning this task.
You can connect the NGC system to the ChromLab computer in one of two ways:
Direct cable connection using a Cat 6 ethernet cable
Network connection through your network infrastructure
Establishing a Direct Cable Connection
Tip:
You should have already inserted the Cat 6 ethernet cable into the port at
the back of the NGC instrument. See
To connect the power and communication
If the ChromLab computer has two network adapters and you are establishing a
direct connection to the NGC instrument, you can use the second adapter to
connect the computer to your company’s network.
To establish a direct cable connection
Insert the loose end of the Cat 6 ethernet cable into one of the ethernet
connection ports on the computer on which you plan to install ChromLab.
Note:
The network adapter that is used to connect the NGC instrument needs
to be configured to use TCP/IP 4.0 with dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP). For information about configuring the network adapter, see
Configuring the Network Adapter for Direct Connection on page
