Connecting to the LAN
Each device on the LAN (corporate or private) requires a unique IP address. Contact your corporate
information technology (IT) department for details about obtaining an IP address before you deploy
the Model 2657A on a corporate or private network.
Contact your corporate IT department for permission before you connect the Model 2657A to a
corporate network.
Setting the LAN configuration method
There are two methods used to configure the LAN.
AUTO:
Use the AUTO setting to allow the DHCP server to automatically set the LAN settings.
You do not need to set the LAN options manually. The DHCP server automatically configures the IP
address, subnet mask, and the default gateway. To use this option, a DHCP server must be available
on the LAN.
MANUAL:
Use the MANUAL setting to manually configure the communication parameters.
The MANUAL setting requires you to configure the following:
• IP address
• Gateway
• Subnet mask
To select a LAN configuration method:
1. From the front panel, press the
MENU
