IP Address Identifies each device connected on a network.
Each network device must be set to a unique address.
The instrument supports IP version 4, with IP addresses indicated as four deci-
mal octets, e.g., "192.168.0.1".
Subnet Mask This setting is used to distinguish the address of the network from the addresses
of individual network devices.
The normal value for this setting is the four decimal octets "255.255.255.0".
Default
Gateway
When the computer and instrument are on different but overlapping networks
(subnets), this IP address specifies the device to serve as the gateway between
the networks.
If the computer and instrument are connected one-to-one, no gateway is used,
and the instrument's default setting "0.0.0.0" can be kept as is.
LAN Settings and Network Environment Configuration

• Make these settings before connecting to a network. Changing settings while connected
can duplicate IP addresses of other network devices, and incorrect address information
may otherwise be presented to the network.
• The instrument does not support DHCP (automatic IP address assignment) on a net-
work.
