Set up LAN communications on the instrument
This section describes how to set up manual or automatic LAN communications on the instrument.
Check communication settings
Before setting up the LAN configuration, you can check the communications settings on the
instrument without making any changes.
To check communications settings on the instrument:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Communication. The SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS window opens.
3. Select one of the four tabs (GPIB, USB, LAN, or TSP-Link) to see the settings for that interface.
4. Press the EXIT key to leave the SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS window without making any
changes.
Set up automatic LAN configuration
If you are connecting to a LAN that has a DHCP server or if you have a direct connection between the
instrument and a host computer, you can use automatic IP address selection.
If you select Auto, the instrument attempts to get an IP address from a DHCP server. If this fails, it
reverts to an IP address in the range of 169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255.
Both the host computer and the instrument should be set to use automatic LAN configuration.
Though it is possible to have one set to manual configuration, it is more complicated to set up.
