Setting the IP address

Note the following:

• Contact your IT department to secure a valid IP address for the instrument when placing

the instrument on a corporate network.

• The IP address does not need to be manually set if the method is set to AUTO.

A direct connection to the PC can also be configured. See Establishing a point-to-point connection

for more information.

Setting the subnet mask

Note the following:

• Contact your IT department to secure a valid subnet mask for the instrument when

placing the instrument on a corporate network.

• The subnet mask does not need to be manually set if the method is set to AUTO.

A direct connection to the PC can also be configured. See Establishing a point-to-point connection

for more information.

Understanding the domain name system

The Domain Name System (DNS) lets you type a domain name in the address bar to connect to

the instrument. The DNS removes the requirement to memorize the IP address, instead you only

need to know the domain name.

Example:

Series2600A.yourcompany.com

Contact your IT department to learn more about DNS.

NOTE If a DNS server is not part of the LAN infrastructure, then this setting

is not used.
