Establishing a Network Connection

When establishing a connection between the NGC system and the ChromLab

computer through your network infrastructure, ensure that they are both on the

same subnet. A DHCP server is required so that the system receives an IP address.

Note:

The DHCP server should be configured to always assign the same IP

address to the system. See your network administrator for more information.

Tip:

You should have already inserted the Cat 6 ethernet cable into the port at

the back of the NGC instrument. See

To establish a network connection

router or hub.
