7.1. Ethernet Setup
To get here, navigate:
[MENU]SETUP MENUETHERNET SETUP
The Ethernet Setup menu provides the necessary options to configure the instrument to
use the Web Server (if purchased). Generally, the MAX
®
4000XL cannot be viewed on
the Internet because of company firewalls, but it is possible and requires a registered IP
address.
If the Web Server option is not purchased, the instrument can still be accessed over the
intranet to test the LAN connection, but reports, data, and other functionality will not be
available.
The following options are available from the Ethernet Setup screen:
• NAME & PASSWORD are used to restrict access to the instrument over the intranet.
When using IE enter NAME for the User name and enter PASSWORD for the
Password to gain access to the instrument.
• OBTAIN IP ADDRESS options are:
o Ethernet Off disables the Ethernet port.
o Manual requires the manual entry of IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway.
Consult with your Information Services (IS) department for the correct settings.
o Automatic sets everything automatically (factory default). A DHCP server is
required to obtain the IP address. Because the IP address is not known until the
DHCP server assigns it, intranet users will have to be given the IP address
whenever the instrument powers up, which is undesirable. Manual mode is
typically used because the IP address is fixed. Automatic mode is useful to see if
the Web Server works, and then the user should switch to manual mode.
• MAC ADDRESS is factory set and is unique to every Internet device. It may be helpful
to your IS department.
• STATUS displays the Ethernet status. If everything is setup and connected correctly,
then STATUS displays “Initialized” (shortly after power up).
After making the proper selections, press [ESC] until back at the Main Menu and then
cycle the power off and on to save the changes.
If OBTAIN IP ADDRESS is set to Manual, do not use an IP address for the MAX
®
4000XL
that conflicts with another IP address on your network. Conflicting IP addresses may
cause network crashes or instability. As an additional safeguard against conflicts, the
MAX
®
4000XL will not accept IP addresses that end in .255 or .1.
