NOTE:
Make sure that the combination of 2910 IP address and subnet mask is
within the range of directly addressable IP addresses of the computer.
For example:
Computer IP address: 192.168.1.50
Computer subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
2910 IP address: 192.168.1.51
2910 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP address assignment
Optionally, you can use the DHCP method to assign an IP address. Since there is no DHCP server in
a configuration that directly connects the 2910 to a computer, the instrument will timeout and then
automatically assign itself a Link Local Address (LLA). This process takes 60-90 seconds.
1. From the 2910, select
Menu > Utilities > Ethernet Settings
.
2. Select the
IP Address
tab.
3. Select
Obtain an IP address via DHCP.
4. Select the
Apply
button. This attempts to configure the signal generator as a DHCP client.
5. Select
Close
to close the dialog.
6. When the LAN error indicator disappears (60-90 seconds), select
Menu > Utilities > Ethernet
Settings.
The LLA that was automatically assigned appears in the
IP Address
field.
7. Select
Close
to close the dialog.
