Connecting to the

7.
The assigned IP address may now be used to communicate with the
RTSA7550
analyzer.
Note:
Link-local addresses used for Auto-IP are non-routable, so communications is
limited to devices within the local subnet. This restriction may be an issue when running
virtual machines (e.g. Mac Parallels, VirtualBox, etc.) that may be connected through
virtual routers to the host PC's physical network interface.
Note:
After obtaining a link-local address, the
RTSA7550
continues to request a
DHCP address. If a DHCP server responds at a later time, the link-local address is
overwritten with the offered IP address. This new address is retained until the network
cable is physically unplugged or the
RTSA7550
is restarted.
Connecting to the
RTSA7550
Analyzer Across a Network
This section provides instruction on connecting the
RTSA7550
to a computer across a
routed local network whether on the same subnet or across different subnets or across
a routed wide-area network such as the Internet.
To connect the
RTSA7550
across a network:
1.
Decide on whether you will be using static or dynamic IP allocation. Both your PC
and the
RTSA7550
do not need to be configured for the same method of IP
allocation; although to locate your
RTSA7550
using the
BNC
Discovery tool
requires that they be on the same subnet. If necessary, configure your
RTSA7550
to
your chosen method of IP allocation following the instruction in the
section. If you
are using dynamic IP allocation then your router or your network
must support a
DHCP server.
2.
Connect the provided Ethernet cable to both your router's and the
RTSA7550
Ethernet ports.
