Appendix F: Ethernet Setup
This appendix describes how to set up the TDS3000C Series oscilloscope
for network hard copy printing, and remote programmability or access. The
TDS3000C req
uires a straight-through 10BaseT cable with an RJ-45 connector
to connect to a LAN, or a crossover cable to connect to a PC equipped with an
Ethernet card.
To connect to the oscilloscope through the Ethernet port, follow these steps:
1. Power off t
he oscilloscope.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the oscilloscope.
3. Power on the oscilloscope.
Your Eth
ernet Network Information
To connect the oscilloscope to the network, you must first obtain information
from your network administrator. For your convenience, use the form at the end
of this
appendix.
Make two photocopies of the form and send them to your network administrator
to fill
in. If you require remote access to the oscilloscope for programming or
e*Scope access, then have the network administrator fill in section 1. If you
require your oscilloscope to print screen hard copies to a network printer, then
have the network administrator fill in sections 1 and 2. The administrator can then
return one copy to you and keep the other copy.
NOTE. If the DHCP/BOOTP server assigns a dynamic IP address, then the
va
lue in the Instrument IP Address field may be different each time you power on
the oscilloscope. This is not a problem if you are mostly sending hard copy to
a network printer.
However, if you intend to remotely control or access the oscilloscope, have the
system administrator assign a static IP address so that the oscilloscope IP address
does not change. A static IP address makes it easier for remote devices to access
aspecific oscilloscope.
