However, if you intend to remotely control or access the oscilloscope,
have the system administrator assign a
static IP address so that the
oscilloscope IP address does not change. A static IP address makes it
easier for remote devices to access a specific oscilloscope.
Entering the Ethernet Network Settings
The procedure for entering the oscilloscope Ethernet network
parameters depends on your network configuration. If your network
supports DHCP or BOOTP, then use the following procedure. If your
network does not support DHCP or BOOTP, then use the procedure
on page G--3.
Networks That Support DHCP and BOOTP
If your network supports DHCP/BOOTP, do these steps:
1. Push the UTILITY front panel button.
2. Push the System menu button to select I/O .
3. Push the Ethernet Network Settings screen button.
4. Push the DHCP/BOOTP side button to select On . The screen
displays the clock icon while it is talking with the network to
obtain an IP address for the oscilloscope. This step should only
take a few moments, but the actual time will vary depending on
your network. The clock icon disappears when the task is
finished.
