Operation
In the left window of the program screen, all DAQ
systems with a working network connection to the PC
are listed displaying their IP addresses. The IP address
shown is the last address which has been set for the
device (default factory setting: 192.168.64.133).
Select a network measuring system to show the pa-
rameters of this device in the TABs on the right.
Please check the configuration of the device. Pressing
the button "Update Flash..." conveys the new settings
to the hardware.
If using the AMS42/84-LAN together with Next-

the netmask is of decisive importance. Please check
these setting in the TAB "TCP/IP".

Notes about TCP/IP
Each participant of the network has his own IP address consisting of four groups of numbers. To guarantee
that a data package arrives at the correct address, this IP address must have been given out only once.
Each IP address contains the network number identifying the net your PC belongs to. Please make sure the
PC and the AMS42/84-LAN are in the same net, that means they have the same network number, to be able
to communicate with each other.
