Explanation
On models without the LXI option (/C8 and /C10), you must configure the TCP/IP settings
as indicated below to use the Ethernet interface features. On models with the LXI option
(/C9 and /C12), the settings are assigned automatically when you set the network setup
mode to Auto.
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
You can assign an IP address to the DL9000. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
The IP address is an ID that is assigned to each device on an IP network such as the
internet or an intranet. The address is a 32-bit value expressed using four octets (each 0
to 255), each separated by a period as in 192.168.111.24.
Obtain an IP address from your network administrator. The setting is automatically
configured in environments using DHCP.
Subnet mask: Net Mask
You can set the mask value used when determining the subnet network address from the
IP address. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
Huge TCP/IP networks such as the Internet are often divided up into smaller networks
called sub networks. The subnet mask is a 32 bit value that specifies the number of
bits of the IP address used to identify the network address. The portion other than the
network address is the host address that identifies individual computers on the network.
Consult your network administrator for the subnet mask value. The setting is
automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
Default gateway: Gate Way
You can set the IP address of the gateway (default gateway) used to communicate with
other networks. The default setting is 0.0.0.0.
The default gateway has a function to enable the smooth transfer of data when
communicating with multiple networks.
Consult your network administrator for the default gateway value. The setting is
automatically configured in environments using DHCP.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): DHCP-Without the LXI
Option (/C8, /C10)
DCHP is a protocol that allocates setup information that is needed temporarily to
PCs connecting to the network. When DHCP is turned ON, the following settings are
automatically assigned.
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• Default gateway
• DNS
• WINS
• Domain name
To use DHCP, the network must have a DHCP server. Consult your network administrator
to see if DHCP can be used.
If DHCP is set to ON, when the power is turned on for example, each time a Bind
operation is executed different values may be assigned. To connect a PC to the DL9000,
you need to check the configuration such as the IP address of the instrument on the PC
every time the device is turned on or every time a Bind operation.
