Connecting your IDEXX Coag Dx Analyzer to the IDEXX VetLab Station (Figure 1) lets you identify your client and patient, and
automatically transfers the coagulation results to the patient’s record.
Important: When the Coag Dx Analyzer is connected to the IDEXX VetLab Station, you cannot initiate a test run from the
Coag Dx Analyzer. All test runs must be initiated from the IDEXX VetLab Station.
To connect the Coag Dx Analyzer to the IDEXX VetLab Station:
Be sure the Coag Dx Analyzer and the IDEXX VetLab Station are turned on.
Plug one end of the ethernet cable into the ethernet port on the side of the Coag Dx Analyzer.
Plug the other end of the ethernet cable into the router that is connected to the IDEXX VetLab Station. Use the first
available LAN port (labeled 1, 2, 3, etc.).
Important: Do not use the WAN port, which connects to the Internet.
When the Coag Dx icon appears on the Home screen on the IDEXX VetLab Station, your connections are complete.
