2.3.10 Connecting the USB port
In order to remotely control the device via this port, connect the device with a PC using the included USB cable
and switch the device on.
2.3.10.1 Driver installation (Windows)
On the initial connection with a PC the operating system will identify the device as new hardware and will try to
install a driver. The required driver is for a Communications Device Class (CDC) device and is usually integrated in
current operating systems such as Windows 7 or 10. But it is strongly recommended to use and install the included
driver installer (on USB stick) to gain maximum compatibility of the device to our softwares.
2.3.10.2 Driver installation (Linux, MacOS)
We cannot provide drivers or installation instructions for these operating systems. Whether a suitable driver is
available is best carried out by searching the Internet.
2.3.10.3 Alternative drivers
In case the CDC drivers described above are not available on your system, or for some reason do not function
correctly, commercial suppliers can help. Search the Internet for suppliers using the keywords “cdc driver windows“
or “cdc driver linux“ or “cdc driver macos“.
2.3.11 Initial commission
For the first start-up after purchasing and installing the device, the following procedures have to be executed:
•
Confirm that the connection cables to be used are of a satisfactory cross section
•
Check that the default settings for set values, safety and monitoring functions and communication are suitable
for your application and change them where necessary, as described in the manual
•
In case of remote control via PC, read the additional documentation for interfaces and software
•
In case of remote control via the analog interface, read the section in this manual concerning analog interfaces
and, where needed, other appropriate documentation especially concerning the use of such interfaces
2.3.12 Initial network setup
The device is delivered with default network parameters (see
„3.4.3.7. Menu “Communication”“
). The Ethernet/
LAN port is immediately ready for use after the initial commission.
For wiring, i.e. the hardware connection to a network, contact and ask your IT manager or any similar responsible
person. Network cable of common type (CAT5 or better) can be used.
In order to set up the network parameter to your needs, you have two options: the setup menu or the device’s
website. For the configuration in the setup menu please refer to
„3.4.3.7. Menu “Communication”“
For the configuration via the device’s website, you need the device to be connected to a network or directly to a
PC which can access the default IP 192.168.0.2.
►
How to do the network setup on the device website
1.
In case the device display is in any kind of menu, lave menu to main display.
2.
Open the device website in a browser by entering the default IP (http://192.168.0.2) or the default host name
(http://Client, only possible if there is a running DNS in the network) into the URL box.
3.
After the website has been completely loaded, check the status field item “
Access
” to show the status “
free
”.
In case it shows different, the device is either already in remote control (
rem
) or blocked from remote control
(
local
). If it shows “
local
”, first remove the block. Refer to section
4.
If it says “
rem
” in the “
Access
” item, skip to step 5. Else enter command
syst:lock on
(attention! space
before
on
) into the
SCPI command
box and send with return key. Check if item “
Access
” in status field
changes to “
rem-eth
” (means: remote Ethernet).
5.
Switch to page
CONFIGURATION
(upper left corner) and set up the network parameters as well as the port
here resp. activate DHCP and submit the change with
SUBMIT
button.
6.
Wait a few seconds before testing the new IP by entering it in the browser’s URL box. Opening the website
again by using the host name is only possible after the device has restarted, because only then the new IP
is reported to the DNS.
