● If a Supervisor changes the connection type (Ethernet to Wi‑Fi or Wi‑Fi to Ethernet), the IP address
changes.
Connect to a Wired Network(Ethernet):
NOTE: If a Supervisor establishes an Ethernet connection while the instrument is wirelessly connected to
the network, the wireless connection will be terminated and (Ethernet) will be displayed in the status
bar. The instrument defaults to the Ethernet connection because it is faster than Wi‑Fi.
The IP address for the network connection can be Dynamic or Static:
● Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) – The network assigns an IP address to the instrument.
● Static IP Address – A Supervisor assigns an IP address to the instrument.
1 If a static IP address is being used, contact the institution’s network administrator for the following
information:
● IP Address
● Subnet Mask
● Gateway
● DNS 1
● DNS 2
2 Connect an Ethernet cable between a network access point and the Ethernet port on the instrument.
