Introduction to the Instrument
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 your instrument has the secure (SEC) option, the instrument must be unsecured to change most LAN set-
tings.
1. Press [Utility] > I/O Config > LAN Settings.
2. You can select Modify Settings to change the LAN settings, or you can turn LAN Services on and off
or restore the LAN settings to default values.
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 DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) when you connect the instrument to the network, provided
the DHCP server is found and is able to do so. DHCP also automatically deals with the subnet mask,
gateway address, DNS, WINS, and domain name, if required. This is typically the easiest way to estab-
lish LAN communication for your instrument; all you need to do is leave 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
buttons are on the main screen, and you press More to configure the Gateway.
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 front panel arrow keys.
enter leading
zeros.
