• Subnet - a logical grouping of hosts based on their IP addresses.
• TCP/IP - a communication protocol suite that is used for the
Internet and a large number of LANs that allows hosts to share
data.
• Telnet - a communication program used primarily to issue
commands directly to a TCP/IP-based host.
Preparing for
Network
Installation
Equipment Required:
• Network enabled Personal Computer (IBM-compatible);
• REMOTE 2014/3014/5014 P
Note:
The network
where the instruments will
operate must have an
available IP address for
each instrument. The IP
scheme, or subnet, must
match that of the PC that
will be used to retrieve the
data from the instruments.

• Small 5-port hub or switch and two 3-foot long straight-through
Cat5 Ethernet cables (For connection to network)

All values in
screen shots are examples
only. Use only the values
provided by the Network
Administrator.
Additional Requirements:
1. Contact the network administrator and obtain administrator rights
on the PC to be used for this procedure.
2. For each unit to be attached, obtain an unused static IP address,
Gateway IP address and the appropriate Netmask for the LAN in
which they will be installed.
3. Create a list and record the MAC address(es) for all REMOTEs to
be configured. It is suggested that the IP address that will be used
for each REMOTE P be written next to the MAC address. This
list can be provided to the network administrator for future
reference.
4. The PC being used to program the REMOTE P must be using the
same subnet that the adapter will use. See the network
administrator for assistance with this.
5. The PC that will monitor or retrieve data from the instrument(s)
must be using the same subnet and gateway programmed on the
REMOTE(s) network interface.
