Risk of network errors
Connection errors can affect the entire network. If your network does not
support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP configuration,
you must assign valid address information before connecting the instrument
to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address.
Assigning the IP address on the instrument
1. Press the [SETUP] key.
2. Press the "N Remote" softkey.
3. Select the "Network" tab.
4. In the "N Remote" dialog, toggle the "DHCP On/Off" setting to the
required mode.
If DHCP is "Off", you must enter the IP address manually, as described in the
following steps.
Note:
When DHCP is changed from "On" to "Off", the previously set IP
address and subnet mask are retrieved.
If DHCP is "On", the IP address of the DHCP server is obtained automatically.
The configuration is saved, and you are prompted to restart the instrument.
You can skip the remaining steps.
Note:
When a DHCP server is used, a new IP address may be assigned each
time the instrument is restarted. This address must first be determined on the
instrument itself. Thus, when using a DHCP server, it is recommended that
you use the permanent computer name, which determines the address via the
DNS server
(See
"Using a DNS server to determine the IP address"
on page 33 and
Chapter 4.5.3, "Using Computer Names"
5. Enter the "IP Address", for example
192.0.2.0
. The IP address consists of four
number blocks separated by dots. Every block contains a maximum of 3 num-
bers.
6. Enter the "Subnet Mask", for example
255.255.255.0
. The subnet mask con-
sists of four number blocks separated by dots. Every block contains a maxi-
mum of 3 numbers.
7. Select "Configure Network".
