LAN Configuration Procedure
There are several parameters that you might need to set to establish network communication using the LAN
interface. Primarily, you will need to establish an IP address. You might need to contact your network administrator
for help in establishing communication with the LAN interface.
If Secure mode is enabled, the instrument must be unlocked with the correct security code to perform many of
these actions. See
1. Press [Home] > User Settings > I/O > LAN Settings.
2. You can select Modify Settings to change the LAN settings, select LAN Services to enable (On) or disable (Off)
LAN services on the instrument, or select Set to Defaults to restore the LAN settings to its factory default
settings.
3. To change settings, press Modify Settings. To access most items on this screen, use the first softkey to switch
from DHCP to Manual. With DHCP on, an IP address will automatically be set by the DHCP (Dynamic Host Con-
figuration Protocol) when you connect the instrument to the network; provided that the DHCP server is found
and is able to do so. The DHCP also automatically deals with the subnet mask, gateway address, DNS, WINS,
and domain name, if required. This is typically the easiest way to establish LAN communication for your instru-
ment; all you need to do is leave the DHCP on. Contact your LAN administrator for details.
4. Establish an "IP Setup"
If you are not using DHCP (the first softkey is set to Manual), you must establish an IP setup, including an IP
address, and possibly a subnet mask and gateway address. The IP Address and Subnet Mask softkeys are on the
main screen. Press More to configure other settings.
Contact your network administrator for the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to use. All IP addresses take
the dot-notation form "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn" in each case is a byte value in the range 0 through 255.
You can enter a new IP address using the knob or the front panel arrow keys.
