Firewall Exemption Needed for Chromeleon IP Addressing Utility
Some Dionex instrument models can be configured to use a TCP/IP LAN port instead of a USB connection. Before an instrument's TCP/IP LAN port can be used, its IP address must be set. For most instruments, this is done using an IP utility called CMIPUTIL.EXE that is provided on the Chromeleon CD.
With the Windows Firewall of WinXP SP2 enabled, the Chromeleon IP utility does not operate properly unless it is added to the Windows Firewall Exemption List. This exemption can easily be added by selecting <Unblock> in the message box displayed by Windows XP the first time that the IP utility is launched.
