MAC Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address, also called hardware address, is used for defining the
position of the network device. For a generator, the MAC address is always unique. It is
always used to identify the instrument while assigning IP address for instrument. MAC
address (48 bits, namely 6 bytes) is usually expressed in hexadecimal format, such as
00-04-5B-46-A2-C2.
IP Configure Mode
IP configure mode could be DHCP, Auto IP or Manual. In different IP configuration modes, the
configuration modes of network parameters (such as IP address) are different.
1. DHCP
In DHCP mode, DHCP server in the current network assigns LAN parameters, e.g. IP address,
for the generator.
Press
DHCP
to select "ON" or "OFF" to turn DHCP mode on or off.
2. AutoIP
In AutoIP mode, the generator acquires IP address within 169.254.0.1 and 169.254.255.254
and subnet mask 255.255.0.0 automatically according to the current network configuration.
Press
Auto IP
to select "ON" or "OFF" to turn Auto IP mode on or off. When the DHCP mode
and Auto IP mode are turned on at the same time, the instrument will use the DHCP mode;
therefore, to enable this mode, set
DHCP
to "OFF".
3. Manual
When users set
DHCP
and
AutoIP
to "OFF", the IP configure mode is Manual mode, the LAN
parameters of the generator, e.g. IP address, are defined by users.
The IP address format is nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. The nnn range is from 0 to 255. It is recommended
that users acquire an available IP from their network administrator.
Press
Ip
on the second page of the menu and use the numeric keyboard or direction keys and
knob to enter your desired IP.
