Install the Agilent Instrument Controller Network
Appliance
1. Before installing or configuring an Agilent Instrument
Controller, make sure all OL ECM and ICM components are
installed.
2. Create an “AIC User” account. (See Add a New User in the
online help for how to do this.) This should be a unique user
with full administrator rights (call this user “aicuser” for
example).
3. From the Administration tab, click Global Administration,
and then do a right mouse click on Agilent Instrument
Controller. In the General tab of the Properties dialog box,
enter the AIC user account name and password, along with
the account and domain for the user. This will be used by
the AICs to communicate with the OL server. Click OK to
close the dialog box.
4. Disconnect the computer from the network and change the
TCP/IP settings to use the static IP address 192.168.1.2.
Contact a network administrator if you need assistance
doing this.
5. Connect one end of the network crossover cable (Part
Number G4690-60000) to the computer and the other end to
the main network port of the Agilent Instrument Controller if
more than one network port is available. (See Figure 1.)
