Note: In Figure 80 all the IP addresses are taken as an example. The WAN IP addresses are
normally provided by your ISP. Whereas, the LAN IP addresses can be set manually to any range
which is within the subnet of the Modem/Router/Switch.
Use a cross-over LAN cable to connect the instrument directly to a computer, or a standard LAN cable
for connection to a Modem/Router/Switch as shown in Figure 80. The computer could be connected
to the Modem/Router using either CAT5 cable or a wireless connection, but the instrument must be
connected using CAT5/6 cable.
