This procedure is needed when a CAC3 is replaced, when the memory backup battery is
removed, or when the CAC3 is removed from a CIM or SIB3. In this procedure, the term
"SYSCON" can mean either a SYSCON assembly in a Maxum Airless/Airbath model or a CIM
in a MAxum Modular Oven model analyzer. To prepare, disconnect the analyzer from the
network by unlugging the Ethernet cable.
From the color touchscreen in the door of the analyzer, use this set of steps to set the IP
addresses. This allows the GCP software to communicate with the device so that a database
may be loaded.
