1.3.4 Communication Problems
Have you completed the LAN setting before connection?
The LAN setting is initialized when all the settings for communica-
tions have been made. Be sure to complete this LAN setting
before you connect the instrument to the network. When you edit
the settings while the instrument is connected to the network, you
may accidentally send illegal address information to the network.
For example, you may select the same IP address as that of
another device on the network.
Is the cable connected properly?
When you make one-to-one connection between the instrument
and a PC, you must use a cross cable.
The short cable of the straight-cross converter supplied with the
9642 LAN CABLE is a cross cable. The connector is a straight
male-female converter.
The cable might not be connected to the connector properly.
Remove the cable and then connect it again.
Have you set the IP address of the PC correctly?
Choose [Run] from the Start menu. Type [winipcfg] (Windows95/
98/Me) or [
ifconfig /all] (Windows NT/2000/XP) and click [Enter.]
Doing so will enable you to get the IP address of the PC's network
interface, subnet mask, and gateway address.
When the IP address setting is not correct
1. Choose [Settings]-[Control Panels] from the Start menu.
2. Double-click the [Network] icon to get the [Network Properties]
dialog box.
3. Edit the IP address setting.
