I. IP adress determined by DHCP
The instrument leaves the factory with DHCP enabled. In this case only the instrument name, inst-
rument description and the NTP server can be modified.
II. Assigning a fixed IP address
To assign a fixed IP address to the PQM 1588, the following action must be taken:
· The menu option
DHCP
must be at
Off
.
Other data entry boxes for the configuration are displayed.
· Enter the desired
IP address
in the appropriate box.
· Enter the associated
subnet mask
in the appropriate box.
· Optionally, you can also enter a
gateway
.
· Optionally, you can enter up to 3
DNS Servers
.
III. Assigning a second fixed IP address
In addition to the first IP address, regardless of whether this has been assigned as a fixed address
or obtained via DHCP, a second fixed IP address can be assigned as follows:
· The menu option
IP address 2
must be at
On
.
· Enter the desired second
IP address
in the appropriate box.
· Enter the associated
subnet mask
in the appropriate box.
With this configuration, the PQM can be accessed by two different IP networks in the same physi-
cal Ethernet.
Configuration is completed when the
Send configuration
button is clicked to transfer it to the
instrument. The instrument is then restarted and is accessible at the set IP address(es).
CAUTION!
Incorrect configuration can make the instrument either no longer accessible or
disruptive to other network entities. It is
absolutely essential
to harmonize the
configuration with the network administrator. The following configuration para-
meters must be obtained from the administrator:
- Free
IPv4 address
e.g. 192.168.1.123
- The
subnet mask
of the network e.g. 255.255.255.0
- One or more IP addresses of the
DNS Serve
r
Optional but advisable:
- IP address of the
gateway
- IP address of the
time server
NOTE!
If the instrument can no longer be accessed for setting purposes, the fallback
network settings described in
[Section 7.2.2]
can be activated.
