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.）
