Configure the LAN Default Gateway
The default gateway IP address is the IP address of a gateway (router) attached to the
same network as the device. When the 5730A Calibrator detects that a client computer is
not on the same network (using the network number), the data is sent through the
gateway to reach the host computer.
The default for the Calibrator is “0” (no gateway, and subnetting is not being used).
To set the LAN Default Gateway address:
1. Touch Setup Menu>Instrument Setup>Remote Port>Ethernet Setup to get to the
Ethernet Setup menu.
2. Touch Gateway.
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the gateway address and then push .
If a mistake is made when the gateway address is entered, push and go back to
step 4 to enter the port number again.
Set the LAN Subnet Mask
If communication between the client computer and the 5730A Calibrator passes through a
router or gateway, and DHCP is disabled, it is necessary to set the subnet mask and
default gateway address on both the client computer and the Calibrator. Get the correct
subnet mask and gateway address from the network administrator.
The LAN Subnet Mask is a 32-bit number. This number is represented as four 3-digit
segment numbers on the front-panel display. The default subnet mask set at the factory is
255.255.254.0.
To change the Calibrator subnet mask:
1. Touch Setup Menu>Instrument Setup>Remote Port>Ethernet Setup to get to the
Ethernet Setup menu.
2. Touch Subnet.
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the subnet mask and then push .
If a mistake is made when the subnet mask is entered, push and go back to step 3
to enter the address again.
Read the MAC Address
The MAC Address is set at the factory and cannot be changed. The MAC address can be
read from the Ethernet Setup menu. The MAC address can also be accessed with a
remote connection that uses the MACADDR? remote command.
