8.2 Confirm preparations
These steps are not required but it is a path to confirm that the preparations were successful
and/or for troubleshooting.
IP address on PCs
Enter «CMD» in RUN in ms-dos window. Then enter the command «ipconfig» into the ms-
dos window. This lists all the Ethernet ports and the addresses that are associated to these
ports. If there are multiple Ethernet ports, the ones not used to configure the ADCC should be
deactivated.
Consult your PC user manual for this procedure. Please find below an example of a result with IP
address e.g. 192.168.1.100 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Confirm connection between ADCC and PC
Connect the ADCC to the PC with an Ethernet cable and power from the Alere Afinion USB.
Confirm the connection between ADCC and PC with the ms-dos command «ping ADCC IP
address» e.g. ping 192.168.1.1
The output text will be:
C:\Documents and Settings\ivfr>ping 192.168.1.1
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=8ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 8ms, Average = 2ms
The ADCC and the PC are now ready for ADCC configuration.
