MAC Address 
For each oscilloscope, the MAC address is unique. When attributing IP address for 
the oscilloscope, the MAC address is usually used to identify the instrument. 
 
VISA Address 
Display the current VISA address of the oscilloscope. 
 
IP Configuration Type Status 
Display the on/off states of the DHCP, Auto IP and Static IP configuration modes.  
 
 
To Configure and Apply the Network Parameters 
 
The oscilloscope provides DHCP, Auto IP and Static IP configuration modes. In 
different IP configuration type, the configuration mode of the network parameters 
(such as the IP address) is different.  
  DHCP: the DHCP server in the current network will assign the network 
parameters (such as the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS 
server address) for the oscilloscope. 
  Auto IP: the oscilloscope will get the IP address ranging from 169.254.0.1 to 
169.254.255.254 and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0 automatically according to 
the current network configuration. Users can define the gateway address and 
DNS server address. 
  Static IP: users can define the network parameters (such as the IP address, 
subnet mask, gateway address and DNS server address) of the oscilloscope. 
 
The priority of the parameter configuration from high to low is “DHCP”, “Auto IP” and 
“Static IP”. The three IP configuration types can not be all turned off at the same 
time. 
 
Press Utility  IO Setting  LAN Set to open the network setting interface. In 
the menu, 
 
1.  Select the desired IP configuration type 
The priority of the parameter configuration from high to low is “DHCP”, “Auto IP” 
and “Static IP”. 
  To use DHCP, turn on this configuration type.
