Using the LAN to Control the Analyzer

You cannot access the file system via ftp

•If you get a "connection refused" message, try the following solutions:

—If the power to the analyzer was just turned on, make sure that you wait about 25 seconds before attempting the connection.

•If you get a "connection timed out" message

—Verify the LAN connection between your computer and the analyzer. Refer to "If you cannot connect to the analyzer" earlier in this section.

You cannot telnet to the command parser port

•If you get a "connection refused" message.

—Check the telnet port number from the front panel keys.

•If you get a "connection timed out" or "no response from host" message.

—Verify the LAN connection between your computer and the analyzer. Refer to "If you cannot connect to the analyzer" earlier in this section.

•If you get a "connection refused" or "no response from host" message.

—If the analyzer was just turned on, make sure that you wait about 25 seconds before attempting the connection.

You get an "operation timed-out" message.

•Check the LAN connection between the computer and the analyzer. Refer to "If you cannot connect to the analyzer" in this section.

•Increase the file time-out value on your PC or workstation.

You cannot access internal web pages or import graphic images when using a point-to-point connection.

•Disable the use of proxy servers. You may have to specify this in a number of locations, depending on the operating system and software you are using.

•Disable the use of cached copies of web pages to ensure that you always get a new copy of the analyzer’s screen image.

If all else fails.

•Contact your network administrator.

•If you still cannot solve the problem, contact an Agilent Service Center for repair information.
