IP addressing
Network communication requires a valid and unique IP address for the analyzer. The default IP
address needs to be replaced.
For IP addressing, the analyzer supports manual configuration or the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP):
With enabled DHCP, the analyzer obtains the IP parameters automatically. For DHCP support,
a DHCP server must be available. If saving IP addresses is required on the field, a network
router with a DHCP server should be available and enabled onsite. Private IP addresses can be
available from this server and automatically assigned to the analyzer and other devices in the
field.
For valid public IP addresses, consult with your network administrator and obtain the correct
parameters for all devices onsite.
.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This section describes manual configuration of the IP parameters. Manual
configuration ensures that the IP address is static. This may be a requirement for certain field
scenarios. When using DHCP, the IP address may change if the analyzer is power cycled. If a static
address is required, keep DHCP disabled.

Cabling for connection to network
Use straight Ethernet through cables to connect the analyzer to network equipment.

shows the Ethernet
cable pinouts in case you need to identify or build one. If you build your own cable, ensure the
connectors are properly crimped and that no internal wires are exposed outside of the connector. Test
the cable for proper connectivity. If you are experiencing connection issues, always check that you
have the correct cable and that the cable and connectors are free from damage and properly inserted
in the ports.
