analyzers, monitors, calibrators, etc.) into one communications hub. Contact Teledyne
Analytical Instruments Sales for more information on CAS systems.
To configure the analyzer’s communication ports, use the SETUP>MORE>COMM
menu. Refer to Section 5.7 for initial setup, and to Section 6.2 for additional
configuration information.
6.4. RS-485 (Option)
The COM2 port of the instrument’s rear panel is set up for RS-232 communication but
can be reconfigured for RS-485 communication. Contact Customer Service. If this
option was elected at the time of purchase, the rear panel was preconfigured at the
factory.
6.5. Ethernet
When using the Ethernet interface, the analyzer can be connected to any standard
10BaseT or 100BaseT Ethernet network via low-cost network hubs, switches or routers.
The interface operates as a standard TCP/IP device on port 3000. This allows a remote
computer to connect through the network to the analyzer using AICOM, terminal
emulators or other programs.
The Ethernet cable connector on the rear panel has two LEDs indicating the Ethernet’s
current operating status.

The analyzer is shipped with DHCP enabled by default. This allows the instrument to be
connected to a network or router with a DHCP server. The instrument will automatically
be assigned an IP address by the DHCP server (Section 6.5.2). This configuration is
useful for quickly getting an instrument up and running on a network. However, for
permanent Ethernet connections, a static IP address should be used. Section 6.5.1 below
details how to configure the instrument with a static IP address.
6.5.1. Configuring Ethernet Communication Manually (Static IP
Address)
1. Connect a cable from the analyzer’s Ethernet port to a Local Area Network (LAN) or
Internet port.
2. From the analyzer’s front panel touchscreen, access the Communications Menu
(SETUP>MORE>COMM as shown in Figure 5-13.
3. Follow the setup sequence as shown in Figure 6-4, and edit the Instrument and
Gateway IP addresses and Subnet Mask to the desired settings.
4. From the computer, enter the same information through an application such as
HyperTerminal.
Table 6-3 shows the default Ethernet configuration settings.
