You need to set two types of Ethernet parameters for the oscilloscope; the
oscilloscope IP address and one or more remote printer addresses. The oscillo-
scope IP address uniquely identifies the oscilloscope to other devices on the
network, and is required for the oscilloscope to communicate over the network.
The remote printer addresses enable you to send hard copy printouts to a
specified network printer. You can store multiple network printer configurations.
Ethernet Network Sett ings: DHCP/BOOTP supported. The purpose of a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or BOOTP (Boot Protocol) server is to
issue an IP address to a network device that requests an address. The IP address
enables that device to communicate with the network. This is similar to the
personal computer Plug&Play concept.
The following procedure assumes you have installed the TDS3EM Communica-
tion Module and cable into a TDS3000 Series oscilloscope.
For TDS3000B and TDS 3000C series oscilloscopes, a RJ-45 connector, with
10BaseT cable attached to the oscilloscope Ethernet port, is required.
If your network supports DHCP/BOOTP, perform the following steps:
1. Power on the oscilloscope.
2. Push the UTILITY front panel button.
3. Push the System screen button to select I/O.
4. Push the Ethernet Network Settings screen button.
5. Push the Change Instrument Settings side button to display the Instrument
Setup dialog box.
6. Push the DHCP/BOOTP side button to select On. The screen displays the
clock icon while it is talking with the network to obtain an IP address for the
oscilloscope. This step should only take a few moments, but the actual time
will vary depending on your network. The clock icon disappears when the
task is finished.
To verify that the network assigned an IP address to the oscilloscope, push
the Change Instrument Settings side button to display the oscilloscope
Ethernet settings. The instrument IP address field should now be filled in.
If the instrument IP address field is blank, then the oscilloscope was not able
to obtain an IP address from the network. Contact your network administra-
tor for help.
