4. Networking with the RheoVac 950: If all of the items above are completed successfully, the
UIC or LAN computer should be able to network with the RheoVac 950. To search for the
RheoVac 950 from the UIC or LAN computer:
Method 1
a. Open Network Neighborhood.
b. Each RheoVac instrument is identified by a unique Network ID. The ID is “R” plus the
first five digits of the serial number found on the unit. (RheoVac Model 950 devices
which have not been serviced by the factory since August, 2003 may use the serial
numbers or “RheoVac 950” as the Network ID).
c. Look for the Network ID of your RheoVac 950. If the expected Network ID (see previous
paragraph) does not show up in the list, then type in the appropriate Address line (either
“\\RHEOVAC 950” or “\\R” and the first five digits of the serial number) and click the Go
button. This may take several seconds and then a RHEOVAC folder will appear, which
is the hard drive of the RheoVac 950.
d. Open the RHEOVAC folder then open the DATA folder. The \\Network ID
\RHEOVAC\DATA folder contains all the stored data. Use copy/paste functions (copy -
Ctrl C; paste - Ctrl V) to save the data files to the UIC or LAN computer.
Method 2
a. Open My Computer
b. Type in the Address line: \\Network ID (Network ID is defined above) and click the Go
button. This may take several seconds and then a RHEOVAC folder will appear, which
is the hard drive of the RheoVac 950.
c. Open the RHEOVAC folder then open the DATA folder. The \\Network ID\
RHEOVAC\DATA folder contains all the stored data. Use copy/paste functions to save
the data files to the UIC or LAN computer.
