To establish a LAN connection
Automatic
Configuration
1 Press [Utility] > I/O.
2 Press the LAN Settings softkey.
3 Press the Config softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to select Automatic, and press
the softkey again to enable it.
If your network supports DHCP or AutoIP, enabling Automatic lets the
oscilloscope use those services to get its LAN configuration settings
4 If your network provides Dynamic DNS, you can enable the Dynamic DNS option
to let the oscilloscope register its hostname and use the DNS server for name
resolution.
5 You can enable the Multicast DNS option to let the oscilloscope use Multicast
DNS for name resolution on small networks without a conventional DNS server.
6 Connect the oscilloscope to the local area network (LAN) by inserting the LAN
cable into the "LAN" port on the rear panel of the oscilloscope.
In a few moments the oscilloscope will connect to the network automatically.
If the oscilloscope does not automatically connect to the network, press [Utility]
> I/O > LAN Reset. In a few moments the oscilloscope will connect to the
network.
Manual
Configuration
1 Get the oscilloscope's network parameters (host name, IP address, subnet
mask, gateway IP, DNS IP, etc.) from your network administrator.
2 Press [Utility] > I/O.
3 Press the LAN Settings softkey.
4 Press the Config softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to select Automatic, and press
the softkey again to disable it.
When you connect the oscilloscope to a LAN it is a good practice to limit access to the
oscilloscope by setting a password. By default, the oscilloscope is not password protected.
See "Setting a Password" on page 305 to set a password.
Any time you modify the oscilloscope's hostname, it breaks the connection between the
oscilloscope and the LAN. You need to re-establish communication to the oscilloscope using
the new hostname.
