Precautions on Proper Operation (cont’d)
Network Connection
The PC is equipped with Ethernet ports for network connectivity. Performing a network connection using the Ethernet requires extensive knowledge of the network environment. Such a connection should be undertaken in consultation with the Network Administrator.
(1)Connecting a cable to an Ethernet port is carried out by Hitachi Science installation engineers or service engineers. Consult your nearest Hitachi Science service representative for details.
(2)Ethernet cables are not included as part of the system. Cables should be procured as necessary. For detail, refer to About Changes in Computer Settings in this chapter.
(3)For a network connection, setting in the PC should be modified with adequate care. Unwittingly changing the settings required by the operation of the system can disable the system.
(4)No special software should be installed for network connection. Such software can adversely impact the system and even disable it. When connecting your system to a special network, please consult the sales representative or the Service Department that handles your system.
(6)Connecting to an external device, such as EDX, using an optional external communications interface requires the use of an Etherport. Therefore, for connecting to a device other than an external device, a branching hub should be procured. Some external devices come equipped with a standard hub, which should be verified with your servicing sales representative.
(7)A network connection using the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol requires an IP address, which should be set up in consultation with a Network Administrator. Connecting to an external device, such as EDX, requires another IP address specifically for connection to that device.
NOTICE The user is requested to prepare a proper Computer viruses protection on his or her own responsibility with consulting to the network administrator. It is not guaranteed Failure of instrument or damage of basic software, application software or other data due to a computer virus.（For detail, refer to Protection against Computer Viruses in this chapter.）
