4. On the Hardware tab, click the Configure link and make the
following selections:
Obtain an IP address automatically
Obtain DNS server address automatically
Note
Static IPs and DNS are are also supported. If
these are used, they must be within the same
subnet range as the web server. See the
Configure an Agilent Instrument Controller
topic in online help for details.
5. From the Advanced tab on the computer, click Initialize and
confirm you want to initialize the Agilent Instrument
Controller.
6. Immediately disconnect the crossover cable from the Agilent
Instrument Controller and connect the laboratory network.
The AIC will give two short “beeps” when initialization is
complete. If initialization fails, the AIC will give a single
longer “beep”.
7. To verify the initialization was completed, log into OL as a
user with administrator privileges. From the
Administration tab, click Global Administration followed
by Agilent Instrument Controller.
8. Verify that the AIC appears. If it does not appear, wait 5
minutes, click on another node (such as Account
Administration), and then click the Agilent Instrument
Controller again. If the AIC still does not appear, there are
several possibilities, given below. Once you have resolved the
problem, go back to the beginning of this section and repeat
the steps to set up the AIC.
• The address for the OL server was entered
incorrectly. On some networks, it may be necessary
to enter a fully-qualified name (for example
http://aspen.agilent.com).
