10.5 LAN Communications
156
Configure the Instruments LAN Settings
• 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 other
-
wise be presented to the network.
• The instrument does not support DHCP (automatic IP address
assig
n
ment) on a network.
1
Press the key to display the
[SET 7/8, LAN] screen.
2
Configure the settings as desired.
The MAC address is a hardware-specific address and cannot be changed.
3
Restart the instrument.
Be sure to restart the instrument after configuring the LAN settings. Failure to do so
will prevent the LAN settings from taking effect, making communication impossible.
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 indi-
cated as four decimal 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 over-
lapping 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.
