Preparing for LAN Communications
12.1 Preparing for LAN Communications
To use LAN communications, you must perform the following tasks:
• Congure LAN settings in the instrument. (See the following “Settings”)
• Build a network environment. (p. 139)
• Connect the instrument and a computer with a LAN cable. (p. 140)
Settings (SET UP Screen)
IMPORTANT
• Be sure to perform these settings before connecting to a network. Changing settings while
connected to the network can cause the overlapping of the IP addresses with other devices on
the LAN, and incorrect address information may be presented to the LAN.
• After conguring the LAN settings, be sure to turn the instrument off and then turn it back on. If
this is not performed, the changed LAN setting will not be enabled and communication will not
be possible.

1
This address is for identifying each device connected to a network. Each network device must be
set to a unique address. This instrument is IP version 4, so the IP address is indicated by the four
decimals separated by three periods, for example, “192.168.0.1.”
2
This setting is used to distinguish the IP address of the network from the addresses of individual
network devices. Normally, it is indicated by the value containing four decimals separated by three
periods, for example, “255.255.255.0.”
3
When the computer and instrument are on different networks, specify the IP address of the device
which serves as a gateway. If the computer and instrument are connected one-to-one, and no
gateway is used, set “0.0.0.0” on this instrument.
4
A MAC address is assigned as a device-specic address, so it cannot be changed.
