21Connecting via LAN in four steps
Determine the IP address using the Command line
Open Windows' input box by using the keyboard combination of Windows-key + R [Win-R]. Type
cmd in the text box and confirm by pressing Return. In the command line window which then
appears, type in ipconfig.
Now you can read the IP-address of the desired network connection:
Result of the command "ipconfig"
For the present case, the PC uses the IP 192.168.10.2 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. For this
reason the measurement device should have a number which differs from the PC in the last block.
In the example shown, the fixed IP 192.168.10.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is selected. For
measurement devices, any numbers would be suitable which begin with 192.168.10. and then do not
contain 0, 2, or 255. The 0 and the 255 should not be used, if possible, due to their special
significance, and 2 is the computer's number and so not suitable for the measurement device.
Step 2: Connecting the measurement device
When you connect the measurement device directly to your PC, you may need to use a "crossed"
network cable in some circumstances. If the measurement device is connected to the network via a
network hub or switch, or a patch box, use an uncrossed network cable. Modern PCs and network
switches are able to switch electronically. Hence you can use both cable types.
Step 3: IP-configuration
Start device. Open the dialog for configuring the device IP address by clicking on the button Device
interfaces ( ).
Setup-Configuration > Device interfaces ( )
If this button is not present in the view you are in, it is also possible to open the dialog after a device
search if it failed to find any new devices. Subsequently, a prompt appears asking whether to search
for devices with an inappropriately configured network interface. Close this message box by clicking
"Yes".
