Not available
The configurable parameters include:
Auto
Automatically configures instrument addressing. When selected, the instrument will first try to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server. If a DHCP server is found, the DHCP server will assign an IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway to the instrument.
If a DHCP server is unavailable, the instrument will try to obtain an IP address using AutoIP. AutoIP automatically assigns an IP
address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway addresses on networks that do not have a DHCP server.
Manual Manually configures instrument addressing by entering values in the three fields (listed below) that only appear when Manual is
selected.
IP
Address
Specifies the instrument's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is required for all IP and TCP/IP communications with the instru-
ment. An IP Address is of the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where each nnn is a decimal number from 0 to 255 with no leading zeros (for
example, 169.254.2.20).
Subnet
Mask
Allows the instrument to determine whether a client IP address is on the same local subnet. The same numbering notation applies
as for the IP Address. When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all packets must be sent to the Default Gateway.
DEF
Gateway
Specifies the IP Address of the default gateway that allows the instrument to communicate with systems not on the local subnet,
as determined by the subnet mask setting. The same numbering notation applies as for the IP Address. A value of 0.0.0.0 indicates
that no default gateway is defined.
