Tel ep h on e

A telephone with a cord long enough to be used a t the computer will allow the
MSD operator to communicate with Agilent Technologies support personnel.

Site LAN network

If you intend to connect your MSD system to your site’s LAN network, you
must have an additional shielded twisted pair network cable.
NOTE Agilent Technologies is not responsible for connecting to or establishing commu nication
with your site LAN network. The representative will test the 5975 Series MSD’s ability to
communicate on a mini-hub or -switch only.
NOTE The IP addresses assigned to the instrument(s) must be fixed (permanently assigned)
addresses. If you intend to connect your MSD s ystem to your site’s network, each piece of
equipment (the MSD, the GC, and the computer) must have a unique IP addres s assigned to
it.
