3.9 Installing the Tablet
This section contains instructions for attaching the tablet to the DC. The
procedure requires parts from two kits:
•The Tablet Kit (P/N 22181-62020) contains the tablet and its power
supply. When the tablet is purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific, the
ICS-6000 App is installed on the tablet at the factory and a predefined
user account is created.
•The Tablet Arm/Holder Kit (P/N 22181-62016) contains the parts
required to attach the arm and holder assembly to the DC.
Installation of a Third-Party Tablet
When the tablet is purchased separately from the Dionex ICS-6000, you are
responsible for making sure the tablet meets current specifications (see
Table 3-3).
NOTE If you do not purchase the tablet from Thermo Fisher Scien-
tific, you must also install the ICS-6000 App (see
Section 3.11.1) and manually pair the tablet and instrument
PC (see Section 3.12.2).

3.9.3 Routing the Tablet Power and Ethernet Cables
This section explains how to perform a partial installation of the tablet power
cable and (if required) the Ethernet cable. The connections will be completed
later in the network installation procedure.
1. Connect the tablet power cable (with the round power connector attached)
to the power port on the tablet.
NOTE The tablet is shipped with an AC power cable with a
U.S. NEMA plug. You are responsible for obtaining a
locally sourced plug adapter.
NOTE If a wireless tablet connection will be used, the Ether-
net cable and network adapter are not needed. The
power adapter for the tablet still must reach the tablet
in any chosen tablet arm orientation.
2. Assemble the cable(s) required to connect the tablet USB port to the
network adapter (see Figure 3-32). The parts are provided in the Tablet
Connectivity Kit (P/N 22181-62017).
a. Connect the 2 m (7 ft) Ethernet cable (P/N 00302-99-00129) to the
USB network adapter (P/N 00302-99-00131).
b. If the Ethernet cable is not long enough, connect the USB cable
(male-to-female) (P/N 00302-99-00130) to the adapter.

NOTE Set the rest of the kit contents aside for use later.
3. Working from the mounting arm backward, route the tablet power and
Ethernet cables from the tablet holder.
4. Check that the power cable can reach the tablet in any desired orientation,
and then secure the power cable with the spiral cable wraps. If the setup
includes an Ethernet cable, it should be routed similarly.
5. Route the network connector (a USB cable that is either attached to the
network adapter or part of the network adapter) as follows (see
Figure 3-33):
a. Route the cable from the top of the tablet holder downward (leaving
about 254 mm (10 in) of cable beyond the top of the tablet holder),
over the arm of the tablet holder, and toward the DC.
b. Secure the cable with the spiral wraps on the upper and lower sections
of the tablet holder arm.
6. Route the tablet power cable as follows (see Figure 3-33):
a. Route the power cable from the top of the tablet holder downward
(leaving about 254 mm (10 in) of cable beyond the top of the tablet
holder), over the arm of the tablet holder, and toward the DC.

3.10 Installing a Network for Tablet Access
Configuration options for networking of the Chromeleon instrument PC (IPC)
and the tablet include:
•Ethernet (cabled) connection to IPC (see Section 3.10.2) and Ethernet
(cabled) connection to tablet (see Section 3.10.3)
•Ethernet (cabled) connection from IPC to router (see Section 3.10.2) and
wireless connection from router to tablet (see Section 3.10.4)
•Installations that include a local area network (LAN) in addition to the
IPC and tablet may be possible, but are outside the scope of this manual.
For assistance, contact your network system administrator.
Notes on Network Configurations
•Before selecting a network configuration, verify that corporate IT policy
does not prohibit wireless connections.
•The Tablet Connectivity Kit (P/N 22181-62017) provides a router that is
compatible with Ethernet and wireless connections, cables, and other
parts required for communication (see Section 3.10.1).
•The adapter provided in the Tablet Connectivity Kit does not provide
wireless capability. The adapter changes the connector from Ethernet to
USB; this enables a connection to a USB port if a LAN port is not
available.
PC and Tablet Communication Test
Test network communication at the following times:
•After completing installation of the router, tablet, and IPC.
•Whenever you want to verify that the network is working and that the
tablet and IPC are on the same network.
•Whenever a communication error is suspected.
1. On the tablet desktop, tap the Windows start bar.
NOTE If the tablet was not purchased from Thermo Fisher
Scientific, you must install the ICS-6000 App (see
Section 3.11.1) before testing communication.

2. Tap the search bar and enter “CMD.” A command prompt window is
displayed.
3. Type “ping 192.168.0.1.” This command pings the PC. If the test is
successful, a response appears on the screen showing the number of
packets successfully transferred.
4. To check tablet IP repeat the previous step; this time, use the PC CMD
prompt to ping the tablet IP address (192.168.0.1).

3.10.1 Installing the Router
The router should be installed as close as possible to the DC and IPC because
of the limited Ethernet cable length and wireless broadcast range.
1. Unpack the router (P/N 00825-01-00269) and the router power adapter
(P/N 00825-01-00269).
NOTE The router is shipped with an AC power cable with a
U.S. NEMA plug. You are responsible for obtaining a
locally sourced plug adapter.
2. Each router is assigned a unique network SSID (service set identifier) and
password at the factory. The SSID and password are printed on a label on
the base of the router. Write down this information before proceeding.
3. Connect the outlet prongs of the router power adapter to an electrical
outlet near the Dionex ICS-6000 to which the tablet is attached. If the
tablet arm is not attached, see Section 3.9.2.
4. Attach the connector end of the power adapter to the router.
NOTE If the electrical service is not 120 V 60 Hz, an AC plug
adapter (not provided with the system) is required to
plug in the router power adapter.
5. Press the ON/OFF button on the rear of the router (near the bottom) to
turn on the power.
6. Check the status of the wireless on light on the router (see Figure 3-41).
The light should be green for operation in wireless mode, and red

otherwise. If necessary, push the wireless on/off button to change the
mode.
3.10.2 Installing an Ethernet Instrument PC
IPC to Router Connection
This section contains setup instructions for an IPC connected via Ethernet. An
Ethernet connection is required if the IPC does not have wireless connectivity
of if IT policy prohibits wireless connections.
1. If an Ethernet port is not available on the IPC, attach the cable connector
on the USB-to-Ethernet adapter (P/N 00302-99-00131) in the kit to a
USB port on the IPC (see Figure 3-43, item ).

3.10.3 Installing an Ethernet Tablet
The hardware installation allows the tablet to send commands through the
router to the IPC. The commands are carried out when they are received from
the router.
1. An Ethernet cable (P/N 00302-99-00129) was routed to the rear of the DC
when the tablet was cabled for the Ethernet connection (see
Section 3.9.4). Connect the free end of the Ethernet cable to any LAN
port on the rear of the router (P/N 00302-99-00131).
NOTE Do not connect the cable to the yellow Internet port.
2. The tablet may already be installed in the tablet holder; if not, place it in
the tablet holder.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the tablet, if it is not already connected.
Because the tablet supplied in the Thermo Fisher Scientific tablet kit does
not have a LAN port, the Ethernet connection uses one of the USB-to-
Ethernet adapters provided in the Tablet Connectivity Kit to connect to
the tablet USB port (see Figure 3-44). If necessary, use the USB extension
cable (P/N 00302-99-00130) provided in the Tablet Connectivity Kit
between the adapter and the tablet.
