5 You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to
communicate with your instrument, or you can program your
instrument using the various programming environments. You can
also use the Web browser on your computer to communicate with
the instrument as described under “Using the Web Server” later in
this chapter.
LAN Parameters
Viewing the Currently Active LAN Settings
To view the currently active LAN settings, press the Menu key, then use
the navigation keys to select:
System\IO\LAN\ActiveSettings.
The currently active settings for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Default Gateway may be different from the front panel configuration
menu settings - depending on the configuration of the network. If the
settings are different, it is because the network has automatically
assigned its own settings.
The SAS provides Ethernet connection monitoring. With Ethernet
connection monitoring, the instrument’s LAN port is continually
monitored, and automatically reconfigured when the instrument is
unplugged for a minimum of 20 seconds and then reconnected to a
network. The front panel
Lan indicator will come on when the LAN port is
connected and configured.
Configuring the LAN Parameters
NOTE
Reboot the SAS for any LAN parameter modifications to take effect.
The SAS’s factory-configured settings should work in most LAN
environments. To manually configure these settings, press the Menu key,
then use the navigation keys to select:
System\IO\LAN\Config.
In the Config menu you can then select from the following items: IP,
Name, Domain, DNS, TCP, and Reset. Note that the
Re s et command
resets the LAN settings to the factory-shipped state.
IP
Select IP to configure the addressing of the instrument.
Automatic This parameter automatically configures the addressing of the
instrument. When selected, the instrument will first try to obtain an
IP address from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is found, the DHCP
server will assign an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
to the instrument. If a DHCP server is unavailable, the instrument
will try to obtain an IP address using AutoIP. AutoIP automatically
assigns an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
addresses on networks that do not have a DHCP server.
Manual This parameter allows you to manually configure the addressing of
the instrument by entering values in the following three fields.
These fields only appear when Manual is selected.
