In the next step, press “Read Configuration” to retrieve and edit the current setting.
Enter the new IP and subnet address you want to set to the instrument for a fix IP or
select “DHCP” if you have a DHCP server present in your network and the IP
address of the instrument shall be assigned dynamically by this server.
Note: If DHCP was chosen and the instrument is not able to retrieve an IP
address from a server, a default IP address will be used by the instrument
and might not be reachable from the host computer.
After pressing “OK”, the program will change the IP address of the device.
Note: If the chassis IP is not located in the same subnet as the Host IP, a
warning will be issued that the chassis might not be reachable for
reconfiguration. Please make sure by appropriate configuration of your
network that the chassis is actually reachable via a TCP connection.
4.3.2 Troubleshooting
If you are unable to connect to the instrument and change the IP address, connect a
crossover Ethernet cable between the host computer and the chassis. Use the DOS
shell command with administrative rights
“arp -s <current IP> <MAC Address of instrument>”
, i.e. “arp -s 172.168.1.127 00-20-4A-CC-44-07”
