Section 7. Software Reference
Network
By default, the instrument
name that appears in the
Ethernet Connect dialog is
the Analyzer Interface Unit
prefix and its associated
serial number (e.g., AIU-
0650). You can change this
name in
Settings > Net-
work
.
The
IP address
(Internet
Protocol) is a numerical
identifier that is assigned to
devices participating in a
computer network. In
many cases this address is
assigned automatically (Dynamic IP address). In other cases, your network admin-
istrator may assign a permanent address (Static IP address) that can be entered
manually.
If you enable the ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ radio button, the IP address,
Subnet mask, and Default Gateway fields are filled in automatically; if you choose
to enter the IP address manually, the address fields are editable.
The
Subnet mask
is a set of 4 octets used to separate an IP address into two parts;
the network address and the host address. The
Gateway
is a node that routes traffic
to another network.
Manual Addressing
Alternatively, you can manually enter the IPv4 Address or Hostname (if known) of
the instrument to which you want to connect. The IP address can be obtained auto-
matically or assigned manually in the Settings dialog box. If IPv6 (Internet Pro-
tocol version 6) addressing is available on the network and enabled on the
computer, the instrument’s IPv6 address is displayed as well.
The LI-7500RS or LI-7200RS use the
Port
number 7200 for Ethernet com-
munications. Therefore, when connecting to the instrument on a network you will
