The PC version will then display the Instrument Configuration screen as shown in Figure 6. Click the OK
button and the software will attempt to auto detect an instrument and connect. If no instrument is
detected due to firewall, VPN settings or an incorrect IP address the user will need to take appropriate
corrective action. In this case the firewall can be turned off or you can enter the IP address directly using
the Instrument Configuration screen. The user can un-check the Auto Discover Unit box and enter the IP
address directly in the field provided. The Auto Config IP address of the SPI unit can be found on the
nameplate of the test set.

If the unit is on a network with a DHCP server, the user must use the Auto Discovery mode. Note that the
SPI Port selection field should be set to port 8000.
If the software detects a unit, the user will be shown a connection dialog similar to Figure 7. The user can
then select the desired SPI unit for connection.
