Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and a DHCP server is available, all address infor-
mation can be assigned automatically.
●
Otherwise, the address must be set manually. Automatic Private IP Addressing
(APIPA) is not supported.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish a
physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.
Risk of network errors
Connection errors can affect the entire network. If your network does not support
DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP configuration, you must assign valid
address information before connecting the instrument to the LAN. Contact your net-
work administrator to obtain a valid IP address.
1. Connect the LAN cable to the LAN connector at the rear panel of the instrument.
2. Select "LAN" to set LAN connection.
The R&S
NGL/NGM displays the "LAN" dialog.
Note: The "MAC Address" is fixed.

3. Set the "DHCP & Auto-IP".
● "ON": Enables DHCP for automatic network parameter distribution and shows
the values of the IP Address. By default, the instrument is configured to use
dynamic configuration and obtain all address information automatically.
● "OFF": If the network does not support dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP). The addresses must be set manually.
