6.2 Ethernet on the PC
The following sections describe various settings which you can
carry out on the PC to enable a link to be formed. The images use
menus and dialogs found in Windows 7; the names of the dialogs
and fields in other versions of Windows are however similar and
are usually also given.
6.2.1 Finding the IP address and subnet mask of the PC
In Windows 7 or 8 open the Network and Sharing Center, e.g.
using
at the bottom on the right in the taskbar. Click on the
LAN connection (the name may
be different) through which the
Test Controller is connected to the PC (Fig. 6-4 on page 139). In
the following status dialog (similarly in Fig. 6-4) click on Details.
The current address is displayed in the next dialog under IPv4
address.
The subn
et mask determines which addresses can be reac
hed
from the PC: Only addresses whose figures are identical in the
places which contain a 255 in the subnet mask can be reached.
The IP addresses of the PC and Test Controller should normally
be located in the same Ethernet segment (only the last group of
figures in the IP address is different), otherwise the subnet mask
must be 255.255.0.0 so that the last two groups of figures may be
different.
