Viewing the 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.
Modifying the LAN Settings
The power system must be rebooted
for any LAN setting modifications to
take effect.
As shipped from the factory, the power system’s pre-configured settings
should work in most LAN environments. If you need to manually
configure these settings, press the Menu key, then use the navigation
keys to select:
.
In the
menu you can then select from the following items: IP,
Name, Domain, DNS, TCP, and Reset. Note that the
command
resets the LAN settings to the factory-shipped state.
Select
to
configure the addressing of the instrument. The configurable
parameters include:
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.
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.
This value is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the instrument. An
IP address is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with the
instrument. An IP Address consists of 4 decimal numbers separated
by periods. Each decimal number ranges from 0 through 255.
This value is used to enable the instrument to determine if a client IP
address is on the same local subnet. When a client IP address is on a
different subnet, all packets must be sent to the Default Gateway.
This value is the IP Address of the default gateway that allows the
instrument to communicate with systems that are not on the local
subnet, as determined by the subnet mask setting. A value of 0.0.0.0
indicates that no default gateway is defined.
