Alternatively, you can set the instrument for dynamic IP addressing using DHCP. In a
long distance network, however, it may be difficult or impossible to determine what the
current dynamic address is, after the instrument is in the field.
5. Set instrument parameters as appropriate, such as measurement mode, frequency
range, amplitude. You may skip this step and set up the instrument remotely at a later
time, after Ethernet connection has been established.
6. Launch a Web browser on your PC, laptop, or mobile device.
7. Enter the instrument IP address in the browser search bar and click the Search arrow.
Depending on user login status and whether a password is required, either the Web Remote
Control login page or the Home page will display. See Figure 9-2 on page 9-4 and Figure 9-3
on page 9-5.
Connection to a Wi-Fi Portable Router
Instead of connecting the instrument directly to a LAN, you can connect it to a Wi-Fi router.
This section documents connection to the ZyXEL MWR102 Portable Router as an example.
1. Take note of the router’s SSID and pre-programmed password, which are found on a
sticker affixed to the router.
2. Using the Ethernet cable included with the router, connect one end to the black LAN
port and the other end to the test instrument’s Ethernet port.
3. Insert the Mini-B (small) end of the provided USB cable into the router and the Type-A
(larger) end of the cable into one of the USB ports of your test instrument.
4. Optionally, secure the router to the instrument body using a strip of Velcro or other
hook-and-loop fastener. You may also place the router in the instrument carrying case,
if it fits.
5. Use your computer’s Wi-Fi Network Connection utility to find the router. With the
ZyXEL MWR102 Portable Router, the SSID name will be ZyXEL followed by an
alphanumeric string unique to your particular router.
6. Connect to this SSID. When prompted, enter the router password noted in Step 1.
7. Set the IP address manually on the instrument. Refer to “Ethernet Menu” on page B-2
and see Figure 9-1.
8. Enter the instrument IP address in the browser search bar and click the Search arrow.
Depending on user login status and whether a password is required, either the Web Remote
Control login page or the Home page will display. See Figure 9-2 on page 9-4 and Figure 9-3
on page 9-5.
