Ethernet
The miniIPS2e is fitted with a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Ethernet module set
up in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This means the instrument will automatically be
assigned a IP address. Depending on how your router works, it should go back to that IP address each time
it is interfaced although this is not guaranteed unless you provide it with a fixed IP in the router
configuration.
