2.6 USING THE ETHERNET INTERFACE
The 9009 and 9099’s default network settings are listed in Table 1-2. Table
2-1 describes the configuration choices and their affect on the unit’s operation.
Review them with your network administrator and decide on which settings,
if any, that need to be changed before connecting to the network. If the 9009
or 9099 is being used in an isolated test system, just set the network settings
to be similar to those used with the other instruments.
The 9099’s default serial settings are listed in Table 1-3. Compare the serial
settings against the settings on the Modbus slave device. Adjust the serial set-
tings so both units have the same settings.
Network settings can only be changed with a web browser. Serial, GPIB and
USB settings can be changed with the SCPI commands listed in Table 3-3 or
with the web browser.
2.6.1 Web Browser Configuration Method
This method uses a standard browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer to
view and change the current settings.
1. Use any Ethernet cable to connect the 9009 or 9099 directly to your
PC or indirectly through a switch. Be sure the switch is disconnected
from your company network as shown in Figure 2-1.
2. Check your computer’s network settings to be sure its IP address is
in the 192.168.0.xxx range so it can communicate with the 9009 or
9099’s default IP address. If it is not, it must be set before proceeding.
Use the values shown below. If your PC’s IP address is in a different
range, record the current settings and temporarily set the following
network values:
Check ‘Use the following IP Address’
IP Address 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
3. Open the web browser and enter the default IP address of 192.168.0.254
for new units (or your last set address for older units) in the browser
address window. A Welcome Page similar to the one shown Figure
2-3 should appear in your browser.
