Can't connect to QToF (6545)

wdwvt

Hi,

We are having trouble connecting to our 6545 QToF (our LC is the 1290). We can start MassHunter Acquisition but if doesn't register that it's connected to the machine and can't issue commands (e.g. turning on the QToF doesn't change the Actuals state - it remains "Offline").

We've checked several other threads here including:

https://community.agilent.com/thread/2538-could-not-establish-telnet-connection

https://community.agilent.com/thread/2749-could-not-establish-telnet-connection

 

We can ping 192.168.254.11 with no packet loss. When we ping 192.168.254.12 no packets get through - we can't connect to this address (this is our MS address). Powercycling doesn't change anything, nor does any other diagnostic/reset we've tried.

 

One of those threads suggested "resetting the smartcard". There is an old manual for doing this for what appears to be 5000 series machines. However, we can't find the reset hole that is mentioned anywhere on our machine. 

 

Any suggestions about what we should do would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Will

    Hi Will,

    Your networking to your LC seems ok, try power cycling the switch that has the 3 lan cable plugged into it. If that doesn't fix it then power cycle QTOF wait till you hear the valve cycle twice. The light on the QTOF should blink yellow which means firmware loading and after the second valve cycle, the light should go to blinking red. if the valve doesn't cycle or the light doesn't change, the issue is with the smartcard.
