Windows 2000 users should
click on “Retry/Reset”. This
command resets the
communication port, and
also resets Windows 2000
to the proper state to
connect using a dynamic IP
address in the XDS
instrument.
3.6.2 Direct Connection Troubleshooting Overview
If no XDS instrument shows as “available”, the computer may need to be configured for the IP
address range of the XDS instrument. It may be necessary to contact your IT department for
assistance with these issues.
First, verify the following:
• The instrument is free-standing not connected to a network with DHCP server
• There is only one network card in the computer
• A crossover cable is used between the XDS instrument and the computer
If these conditions are met, please proceed.
Direct Connection Solution 1:
If using a crossover cable, verify that
the computer is communicating in the
same IP range as the XDS instrument.
The XDS instrument default IP address
is 169.254.0.2, as shown. This address
calculator gives the allowable computer
IP address range as 169.254.0.1
through 169.254.2.254.
DO NOT use 169.254.0.2 in the
computer!
Set the computer IP address to either:
• 169.254.0.1, or
• 169.254.0.3.
