Computer Interfaces 4-7
•
Most private networks found inside commercial/industrial
environments are typically contiguous which means that one
instrument can communicate directly to other computers and
equipment without the assistance of an intermediate gateway.
In this situation, the gateway address need not be specified in
the 1256. If the 1256 exists in a network that has individual
subnets isolated by gateways or bridges, the gateway
parameters must also be specified or the 1256 will only be able
to communicate with computers and equipment local to its own
subnet.
To select manual mode, proceed as follows:
1. Press the top key, which will select line 1 (top line). Rotate the
knob until the top line reads:
>-----SETTINGS-----<
2. Select line 2 (next to top line) by pressing the second key.
Rotate the knob until the display shows line 2 as follows (lines
3 and 4 may differ):
-----SETTINGS-----
> Remote: TCP/IP <
Option: IP_Oct_1
Status: 0
3. Press the third key, selecting line 3. Rotate the knob until line 3
reads as follows (line 4 may differ):
-----SETTINGS-----
Remote: TCP/IP
> Option: Addr_Mode<
Status: Auto_DHCP
4. If line 4 already indicates the Manual Set mode, no further
action is necessary. Otherwise, select line 4. Rotate the knob
until the display reads:
-----SETTINGS-----
Type: TCP/IP
Option: Addr_Mode
<Update?: Man_Set
Then press key 4 again to select the Manual Set mode. This
temporarily disables the TCP/IP interface, allowing you to
change the TCP/IP settings.
