Connecting and Setting the LAN Interface
Configuring LAN settings and building a network environment
LAN settings (for the instrument)
You must configure the LAN settings before connecting the instrument to a network. If you change
the LAN settings while the instrument is connected to a network, the instrument may have the same
IP address as another device on the LAN, causing incorrect address information to be sent to the
LAN.

Tap the [DHCP] box to set it to [ON] or
[OFF] .
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is a method by which devices
can automatically acquire and configure
themselves with an IP address and other
information. When this DHCP function is
enabled and there is a DHCP server operating
on the same network, the instrument can
automatically acquire the settings of IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
(Follow the steps below only when [DHCP] is set to [OFF] .)
2
Tap the [IPv4 address] box, then enter the IPv4 address using the numeric keypad.
The IP address is used to identify individual devices connected to the network. Use a unique address no other
device on the network is using.
The instrument uses IP version 4, and IP addresses are expressed as a series of four decimal numbers
separated by periods, such as
192.168.1.1
. If the DHCP setting is enabled, the IP address setting will be
configured automatically by DHCP.
3
Tap the [ Subnet mask] box, then enter the subnet mask using the numeric keypad.
The subnet mask is used to separate the IP address into the portion that indicates the network and the other
portion that indicates the device.
The subnet mask typically consists of a series of four decimal numbers separated by periods, such as
255.255.255.0
.
If you enter an invalid value, the subnet mask is not changed.
If the DHCP setting is enabled, the default gateway will be configured automatically by DHCP.
4
Tap the [Default gateway] box and enter the default gateway using the numeric keypad.
The default gateway specifies the IP address of the device that serves as the gateway when the computer with
which you are communicating is on a different network than the instrument.
When not using a gateway (for example, when using a one-to-one connection), set the instrument’s gateway
to
0.0.0.0
.
If the DHCP setting is enabled, the default gateway will be configured automatically by DHCP.
