LAN status LEDs
The figure below illustrates the two status light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are on the LAN port of the
instrument. The table below the figure provides explanations of the LED states. The LED labeled 1
indicates the LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps network. The LED labeled 2 indicates the LAN

Connecting to the LAN
Each device on the LAN (corporate or private) requires a unique IP address. Contact your corporate
information technology (IT) department for details about obtaining an IP address before you deploy
the 2600B on a corporate or private network.
Contact your corporate IT department for permission before you connect the 2600B to a
corporate network.
Setting the LAN configuration method
There are two methods used to configure the LAN.
AUTO: Use the AUTO setting to allow the DHCP server to automatically set the LAN settings.
You do not need to set the LAN options manually. The DHCP server automatically configures the IP
address, subnet mask, and the default gateway. To use this option, a DHCP server must be available
on the LAN.
MANUAL: Use the MANUAL setting to manually configure the communication parameters.
The MANUAL setting requires you to configure the following:
• IP address
• Gateway
• Subnet mask
