Figure 18 shows the "Config Network" tab of a device with static IP in the default user view. The static IP
address (eth0: 1 custom), netmask, and gateway can be adjusted to the local network conditions in the
superuser / service user view in the network configuration section (Figure 19). To save the settings in the
network configuration files and to use the new settings, the network must be restarted. The restart can
be initiated by clicking on the
“Restart network” button.
Before switching on the AFD (ftp) mode, the AFD configuration file should be carefully installed, see 8.8
AFD mode for further information.

Filling out Location, institution, longitude and latitude is always very helpful if data are investigated and
compared with other instruments and if the Lufft support is required to identify any issues.
For safety reasons, some parameters are not listed in the superuser mode. Further down on the same
page, firmware updates can be uploaded to the instrument in superuser mode (Figure 21). New firmware
files are packed as back-up zip files and must be uploaded in this form. New firmware versions are
published on the Lufft website. A list of previously released versions is attached to this manual in section
11.2.
