Set up automatic LAN configuration
If you are connecting to a LAN that has a DHCP server or if you have a direct connection between the
instrument and a host computer, you can use automatic IP address selection.
If you select Auto, the instrument attempts to get an IP address from a DHCP server. If this fails, it
reverts to a local IP address in the range of 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255.
Both the host computer and the instrument should be set to automatic. Though it is possible to have
one set to manual, it is more complicated to set up.
To set up automatic IP address selection using the front panel:
1. From the Home screen, press MENU.
2. Under System, select Communication.
3. Select the LAN tab.
4. For TCP/IP Mode, select Auto.
5. Select Apply Settings to save your settings.
If you are using a Model 2450 with no front panel, you can configure the LAN using SCPI or TSP
commands. For details, see the SCPI command :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:CONFigure (on
page 6-97) or the TSP command lan.ipconfig() (on page 8-66).
Set up manual LAN configuration
If necessary, you can set the IP address on the instrument manually.
You can also enable or disable the DNS settings and assign a host name to the DNS server.
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department to secure a valid IP address for the
instrument when placing the instrument on a corporate network.
The instrument IP address has leading zeros, but the computer IP address cannot.
To set up manual IP address selection on the instrument:
1. From the Home screen, press MENU.
2. Under System, select Communication.
3. Select the LAN tab.
4. For TCP/IP Mode, select Manual.
5. Select the button next to Local IP and enter the LAN IP address. You can touch the number you
want to change.
6. Select the button next to Gateway and enter the gateway address.
7. Select the button next to Subnet and enter the subnet mask.
8. Select Apply Settings to save your settings.
If you are using a Model 2450 with no front panel, you can configure the LAN using SCPI or TSP
commands. For details, see the SCPI command :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:CONFigure (on
page 6-97) or the TSP command lan.ipconfig() (on page 8-66).
