12.2 Control and Measurement via Ethernet ("LAN") Interface
182
Connect the instrument to the computer using an Ethernet LAN cable.
Required items:
When connecting the instrument to an existing network
(prepare any of the following):
• A 100BASE-TX-compatible straight cable
(up to 100 m, commercially available). For 10BASE commu-
nication, a 10BASE-T-compliant cable may also be
used.
• Hioki Model 9642 LAN Cable (option)
When connecting one instrument to a single computer
(prepare any of the following):
• 100BASE-TX-compliant cross-over cable (up to
100 m)
• 100BASE-TX-compliant straight-through cable
with cross-over adapter (up to 100 m)
• Hioki
Model 9642 LAN Cable (option)
The Ethernet interface jack is on the right side.
Instrument Connection
When connecting the instrument to your LAN using a LAN cable of more than 30 m
or with a cable laid outdoors, take appropriate countermeasures that include install-
ing a surge protector for LANs. Such signal wiring is susceptible to induced lighting,
which can
cause damage to the instrument.
