Setting the subnet mask
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department to secure a valid subnet mask for the
instrument when placing the instrument on a corporate network.
To set the subnet mask when LAN configuration method is set to MANUAL:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > CONFIG > SUBNETMASK.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select and enter a valid subnet mask for the instrument.
3. Press the ENTER key to confirm the changes.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key twice to return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
5. Select APPLY_SETTINGS > YES, and then press the ENTER key.
LAN speeds
Another characteristic of the LAN is speed. The 2600B negotiates with the host computer and other
LXI-compliant devices on the LAN to transmit data at the highest speed possible. LAN speeds must
be configured to match the speed of the other instruments on the network.
To set the LAN speed:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key and select LAN > CONFIG > SPEED.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the previous menu.
5. Select APPLY_SETTINGS > YES, and then press the ENTER key.
Configuring the domain name system (DNS)
The Domain Name System (DNS) lets you type a domain name in the address bar to connect to the
instrument. If you use DNS, you can use a name instead of an IP address.
Example:
Model2600B.XYZcompany.com
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department for information about DNS. If a DNS
server is not part of the LAN infrastructure, do not use this setting.
