LAN Interface Card Configuration
LAN Interface Card Configuration
TCP/IP Parameter Configuration
To operate properly in a network environment, the LAN Interface Card
must be configured with valid TCP/IP network parameters. These
parameters are:
• IP address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
The TCP/IP parameters can be configured by the following methods:
• by automatically requesting the parameters from a network- based DHCP
Server (using the so- called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
• by automatically requesting the parameters from a network- based
BOOTP Server (using the so- called Bootstrap Protocol)
• by manually setting the parameters using Telnet
• by manually setting the parameters using the Agilent Instant Pilot
(G4208A)
• by manually setting the parameters using the Handheld Controller
(G1323A/B)
The LAN Interface Card differentiates between several initialization modes.
The initialization mode (short form ‘init mode’) defines how to determine
the active TCP/IP parameters after power- on. The parameters may be
derived from a Bootp cycle, non- volatile memory or initialized with known
default values. The initialization mode is selected by the configuration
switch, see
Figure 10 on page 21.
