Getting started
Set the IP address for a
non-DHCP network
To connect the OM series instrument to a non-DCHP network, you must reset the
default IP address and related settings on the OM instrument to match those of
your non-DHCP network. All devices on this network (OM instruments, PCs
and other remotely accessed instruments such as oscilloscopes) need the same
subnet values (
fi rst three number groups of the IP address) to communicate, and
a unique instrument identi fi er (the fourth number group of the IP address) to
identify each instrument.
Work with your network administrator to obtain a unique IP address for each
device. Your network administrator may need the MAC addresses of the
computer, oscilloscope, and OM instrument. The MAC address is located on the
OM instrument rear panel label.
NOTE.
Make sure to record the IP addresses used for each OM instrument, or
attach a label with the new IP address to the instrument.
If you are setting up a new isolated network just for controlling OM and associated
instruments, Tektronix recommends using the OM instrument default IP subnet
address of
172.17.200.XXX , where XXX is any number between 0 and 255. Use
the operating systems of the oscilloscope and computer to set their IP addresses.
NOTE.
If you need to change the default IP address of more than one OM
instrument, you must connect each instrument separately to change the IP address.
There are two ways to change the IP address of an OM instrument:
Use LRCP on a PC connected to a DHCP-enabled network (easiest)
Use LRCP on a PC set to the same IP address subnet as the OM instrument, to
change the OM instrument IP address
Use DHCP network to change instrument IP address.
To use a DHCP network to
change the IP address of an OM series instrument:
1. Do steps 1 through 6 of the Set network access (DHCP network) procedure.
2. Enter the new IP address for the OM instrument in the AutoCon fi g screen.
3. Click Set IP to set the IP address.
4. Exit the LRCP program.
5. Power off the OM instrument and connect it to the non-DHCP network.
6. Run LRCP and use the Auto Con fi g button in the Device Setup dialog box to
verify that the instrument is listed.
