Connecting and Setting the LAN Interface
Example network environment architectures
Example 1: Connecting the instrument to an existing network
When connecting the instrument to an existing network, you must rst have the network system
administrator (department) allocate the following settings. Ensure that the instrument uses a unique
address not being used by any other device on the network.
IP address ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Subnet mask ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
Default gateway ______ . ______ . ______ . ______
When connecting a measuring instrument to an existing network (provide one of the
following)
• 1000Base-T-compatible straight cable (commercially available cable, up to 100 m in length)
(For 100Base or 10Base networking, you can also use a 100Base-TX or a 10Base-T cable.)
• 9642 LAN Cable with cross-conversion connector (optional)
Example 2: Adding a LAN port to a computer connected to an existing network and
connecting the instrument to the new port
Congure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of the new LAN port after verifying the
proper settings with your network system administrator.
Example 3: Connecting one computer and multiple instruments using a hub
When creating a local network not connected externally, it is recommended to use private IP
addresses such as those shown in the example.
When creating a network with a network address of 192.168.1.0/24
IP address
Computer: 192.168.1.1
Instrument: 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, etc. (progressing in order)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 0.0.0.0
Example 4: Connecting a computer and the instrument one-to-one with the 9642 LAN Cable
When connecting a computer and the instrument one-to-one with the conversion connector included
with the 9642 LAN Cable, you may set the IP address as desired. However, it is recommended to
use a private IP address.
IP address
Computer: 192.168.1.1
Instrument: 192.168.1.2 (Use a dierent value.)
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 0.0.0.0
When connecting the measuring instrument and a computer one-to-one, you will need one
of the following:
• 1000Base-T-compatible cross cable (up to 100 m)
• 1000Base-T-compatible straight cable and cross-conversion connector (up to 100 m)
• 9642 LAN Cable with cross-conversion connector (optional)
