PC and Instrument on different IP ranges
You can use Process Eye’s Device Manager to check on the current IP address status of both the host
PC and the instrument.
Start DEVICE MANGER, highlight the instrument, click the CONFIGURE button and choose CHANGE
THE IP ADDRESS from the list.
You can see in the dialog below, that the IP address of the instrument differs from the IP address of
the host computer.
In this example, the host PC will not be able to communicate with the instrument while the two IP
addresses are in different ranges.
There are two options. Change the IP address of the host PC, or change the IP address of the
instrument.
To change the IP address of the instrument, overtype the current address with the new one.
Note: If the host PC is part of your network, then changing its IP address is not recommended without
seeking advice from your IT staff. Likewise, assigning a new IP address to the instrument must be
done under advice or network conflicts could occur.
