13.7.4 How to assign the IP address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), the address
information is assigned automatically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP address
via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if the instrument
is set to use, alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
Since the dynamic TCP/IP configuration assigns the address information automatically,
it is safe to establish a physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument
configuration.
To assign the IP address manually on the instrument
1.
NOTICE! Connecting to the network can cause network failure. Errors can affect
the entire network.
Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks:
● Connecting the instrument to the network
● Configuring the network
● Changing IP addresses
2. Select "System Config > Remote Access > Network".
3. Select "Address Mode > Static".
4. Select the "IP Address".
5. Enter the IP address, for example 192.168.0.1.
The IP address consists of four number blocks separated by dots. Every block con-
tains 3 numbers in maximum.
6. Select the "Subnet Mask" and enter the subnet mask, for example 255.255.255.0.
The subnet mask consists of four number blocks separated by dots. Every block
contains 3 numbers in maximum.
To assign the IP address manually on the computer
► Obtain the necessary information from your network administrator. If you use more
than one LAN connector, you need separate address information for each connec-
tor.
