FIX or WORKAROUND

1. Launch the Waters DHCP Server Configuration.exe.
2. Remove the instruments.
3. Power-off all instruments.
4. Restart LAC/E or Workstation.
5. Launch the Waters DHCP Server Configuration.exe.
6. Power-on instruments starting with the instrument that has the built-in hub (Sample Manager) and wait until it completes and goes to idle. The unit should populate in the DHCP Server window, and then turn on the pump. Once it completes the start-up and populates, you can power-on the detector.
