Verify DHCP or Static IP status
Look at the DHCP Enabled setting in the IP configuration screen or in the settings you recorded to determine which step you should perform next.

If DHCP Enabled = Yes, proceed to "Disable DHCP to use the computer's existing IP address" section.
b.
If DHCP Enabled = No, proceed to "Configure the instrument's LAN settings" section.
NOTE:
When DHCP Enabled = Yes, the settings are assigned automatically upon power up. However, if DHCP Enabled = No, your corporate network
will not recognize your PC if you change the original settings. Do not change the computer settings; in this case, proceed to "Configure the
instrument's LAN settings" to configure the instrument settings. If at any time you are unsure how to proceed, contact your system
administrator.
Disable DHCP to use the computer's existing IP address

connecting to your corporate network.
