34410A/11A User’s Guide 91
Remote Interface Configuration 3
Setting the LAN Subnet Mask
The multimeter uses the Subnet Mask to determine if a client IP address
is on the same local subnet. When a client IP address is on a different
subnet, all packets must be sent to the Default Gateway. Contact your
network administrator to determine if subnetting is being used and for the
correct Subnet Mask.
• Changing the Subnet Mask setting will cause an automatic LAN reset.
• The default Subnet Mask for the 34410A multimeter is “255.255.0.0”.
• A value of “0.0.0.0” or “255.255.255.255” indicates that subnetting is not
being used.
• The Subnet Mask is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST)
command, or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
Setting the LAN Default Gateway
A Default Gateway address allows the multimeter to communicate with
systems that are not on the local subnet. Thus, this is the Default Gateway
where packets are sent which are destined for a device not on the local
subnet, as determined by the Subnet Mask setting. Contact your network
administrator to determine if a gateway is being used and for the correct
address.
• Changing the Default Gateway setting will cause an automatic LAN
reset.
• The default for the multimeter is “0.0.0.0” (no gateway, and subnetting
is not being used).
• The Default Gateway is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST)
command, or after an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
