Getting Started
Connecting to a Network
The following t
opics cover configuring the IP settings so that you can use your
instrument over a network, and configuring SNMP, which is required if you are
using commands to control the instrument.
Connection and IP settings. To allow network access to the instrument, you
must set the IP address. Network addresses can be assigned either automatically
(DHCP) or ma
nually. If your network does not use DHCP, you will have to
manually enter the address for the instrument. To get an address, talk to your
LAN administrator.
To connect your instrument to a network and access it with a remote PC, do the
following:
1. Press CONFIG to display the Configuration menu.
2. Select N
etwork Settings > Web Enable.PressSEL to select On.
3. Set the IP Config Mode to Manual or DHCP, depending on your network
setup.
4. If you cannot use DHCP, set the subnet mask and gateway address network
param
eters in this menu; see your LAN administrator for required values. (Be
sure to use compatible addresses between the PC and the instrument.) You
can also set the instrument name and view the MAC Address.
5. Press CONFIG to close the Configuration menu.
SNMP Setup
If you intend to use SNMP commands to control the instrument (SNMP control
is p
rimarily intended for access through automation systems), you must set up
SNMP parameters.
NOTE. The WFM8200 and WFM8300 Waveform Monitors wfm_mon.mib and the
wfm8000.mib contain SNMP OIDs and can be downloaded from the instrument
Web page. You can also download a printable version of a MIB manual from
www.tektronix.com/manuals.
The procedure to set SNMP settings is similar to the procedure for IP settings.
(See page 9, Connection and IP settings.)
This table shows the parameters that you can set.
