To set up a network (LAN) connection
Risk of network failure
Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network, consult your
network administrator. Errors may affect the entire network.
► Connect the instrument to the network or to a single PC.
If the instrument is connected to the LAN, the operating system automatically detects
the network connection and activates the required drivers.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically.
The network card can be operated with a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet IEEE 802.3u interface.
2.6.2 Assigning the IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instrument
can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host Con-
figuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned automatically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP address
via Zeroconf (APIA) 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.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and obtain
all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish a physical
connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.
Risk of network errors!
Connection errors can affect the entire network.
If your network does not support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must assign valid address information before connecting the instru-
ment to the LAN.
Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address.
Assigning the IP address on the instrument
1. Press the SETUP key and select the "Network Settings" dialog.
2. Set the "Address Mode" to Static.
3. Select the "IP Address" and enter the IP address, for example 192.168.0.1..
