Direct Connection
This method of interconnect between an HI-4050 and a standard Windows PC allows you
to configure the instrument using the embedded web browser, even if an Ethernet network
is not part of the normal installation. A desktop or laptop may be used on location as
necessary.
Both sides of the link require configuration of their IP addresses to establish a working
connection. The following steps will walk you through the process of connecting the
hardware and configuring the HI-4050 and PC with compatible IP addresses.
Direct Connect Hardware
Any standard Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end can be used to connect the
HI-4050 to your PC. A ‘crossover’ cable is not required. Simply plug the cable into each
instrument.
