Obtain Static IP Address
Static IP addresses are required for the reader and server in order to ensure
uninterrupted network communication between the ProteinChip SELDI system
reader and the server.
You will need the following pieces of information for the server and the reader:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
• DNS domain name
• DNS server IP address
Assign Static IP to the Reader
The reader should already be configured with the IP address 192.168.1.200
when it arrived, and should already be set up to communicate with the
supplied workstation. The workstation will be used to update the reader
settings.
