100BASE-T ETHERNET CONNECTION 
Connecting to a Network 
Use the Ethernet connector (item 8 in the rear panel diagram) to connect the instrument to a 
network: 
 
Communicating over the Network 
The instrument uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) as its addressing protocol. 
Therefore, there is no factory set IP address. 
Windows Setups 
If the instrument is to reside within a domain on your LAN, your IS administrator will have to connect 
the scope. 
Guidelines for Working in Windows
 
Although the instrument has an open architecture, avoid modifying the Windows operating system, 
since this may cause problems for the instrument's user interface. Please follow these 
recommendations: 
•  Do not load any version of Windows not provided by LeCroy. If you load any Windows 
XPe service packs from Microsoft, please be advised that LeCroy cannot guarantee 
trouble-free operation afterwards. 
•  If the instrument powers up in Windows Safe Mode, the touch screen will not function. 
You may need a mouse or keyboard to restore normal operation. 
•  Avoid modifying Control Panel settings. 
•  Do not change the color resolution (24 bit) or screen size (800 x 600 pixel) settings. 
•  After you load third-party software applications, if your scope does not work properly 
try reloading the instrument software from the CD shipped with the scope. If your 
instrument is not equipped with a CD drive, you will need a USB CD-ROM to do this 
(not supplied by LeCroy). 
•  Do not modify or remove any system fonts; doing so may affect the readability of the 
dialogs. 
•  Do not change any display properties like Background, Appearance, Effects, or 
Settings. Functionality of the scope or screen saver may be affected.
