4.2 LAN Settings and Connection (Before Using Command Communications)
122
Before you can control the instrument remotely with an Internet browser on a computer or use command com-
munications, you must configure the instrument’s LAN settings and connect it to the computer with a LAN
cable.
Items to verify before configuring settings and connecting to the instrument
• Always make LAN settings before connecting to the network. If you change settings while connected to the net-
work, IP addresses may overlap or invalid address data may flow over the network.
• The instrument does not support networks on which the IP address is automatically acquired using DHCP.
When Connecting the instrument to an Existing Network
The following items must be assigned in advance by your network administrator. Be sure that there is no con-
flict with other devices.
Connecting multiple instruments to a single computer using a hub
When building a local network with no outside connection, the following private IP addresses are recommended.
Example settings: When creating a network with a network address of 192.168.1.0/24
Connecting one instrument to a single computer using the 9642 LAN Cable
The 9642 LAN Cable can be used with its supplied connection adapter to connect one instrument to one computer,
in which case the IP address is freely settable. Use the recommended private IP addresses.
4.2 LAN Settings and Connection
(Before Using Command Communications)
Caution
Use the LAN, RS-232C, or GP-IB interface. Using multiple interfaces simultaneously may cause the instru-
ment to malfunction, for example by interrupting communications.
IP address
Identifies each device connected on a network.
Each network device must be set to a unique address.
The instrument supports IP version 4, with IP addresses indicated as four decimal octets, e.g., "192.168.0.1".
Subnet mask
This setting is for separating the IP address into the network address that indicates the network and the host ad-
dress that indicates the instrument. On this instrument, the subnet mask is represented as four decimal numbers
separated by ". " such as "255.255.255.0."
Default Gateway
When the computer and instrument are on different but overlapping networks (subnets), this IP address specifies
the device to serve as the gateway between the networks.
If the computer and instrument are connected one-to-one, no gateway is used, and the instrument's default setting
"0.0.0.0" can be kept as is.
