NOTE
Although this is the most commonly used Ethernet connection scheme to implement
it requires IT/IS support.
This section contains information on connecting the Model 2701 to one or more devices
using an Ethernet hub or switch (
) that is part of larger local area network (LAN).
The LAN administrator must be consulted for the correct settings. Connections require
Ethernet straight-thru cables.

Corporate network connections
CAUTION
When connecting the Model 2701 (or any other host) to a corporate net-
work, the sites network administrator MUST provide all of the network
settings for the Model 2701 including IP address, subnet, and gateway.
Failure to use settings provided by the sites Network Administrator could
result in failures at other locations on the corporate network. Failure to
work through the Network Administrator could also be considered a
breech of company policy. Always consult with the Network Administra-
tor before attempting to connect instrumentation to the network.
NOTE
Network administrators refer to the IS/IT department section of Communication
protocol for specific information about the capabilities of the Model 2701.
