There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the instru-
ment and a single computer
For addressing, both the instrument and the computer require an IP address. The
address information is usually assigned to the devices automatically, see Chap-
ter 13.7.4, "How to assign the IP address", on page 416.
