Troubleshoot Network Communications
Before you change your network configuration, ensure a firewall is NOT
responsible for your communication difficulties. Temporarily disable any
active firewalls (e.g. Windows Firewall) or check the application
masvb32.exe has permission to access your network through your
firewall (i.e. it has an exception rule applied to it).
When you use cabled Ethernet (RJ45), your instrument and Ascent use a
default network address to communicate. Usually you will NOT need to
change this. However, it is possible that this address may interact
negatively with other devices on a network. This conflict may result in
other network connections being lost while your instrument is connected
to your computer.
To resolve this conflict, change the Ethernet network settings in your
instrument and Ascent.
NOTE: Your changes will only take effect once your instrument
hardware has been reset.
If you change the network address, you must change it in your
instrument and software so the two can communicate.
NOTE: This does NOT apply if you are only changing the last digit
of the IP address.
