Establishing a point-to-point connection
To enable access to the instrument web interface and other web applications from a computer, use a
one-to-one LAN connection and set up a static IP address between the host computer and
the instrument.
The following instructions describe how to configure the IP address of the instrument. The IP address
of the instrument is based on the present IP address of the host computer. Each device on the LAN
(corporate or private) requires a unique IP address.
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department for permission before you
connect the 2600B to a corporate network.
If you have problems, see LAN troubleshooting suggestions (on page 6-6, on page 8-55).
