3.6.1
Connecting the Instrument to the Network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an
existing network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The instrument
is assigned an IP address and can coexist with a computer and with other
hosts on the same network.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the
instrument and a single computer made with a (crossover) RJ-45 network
cable. The computer must be equipped with a network adapter and is directly
connected to the instrument. The use of hubs, switches, or gateways is not
required, however, data transfer is still performed using the TCP/IP protocol.
