By default, the analyzer is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration. This
means that it is safe to establish a physical connection to the LAN without any previous
analyzer configuration.
Manual TCP/IP configuration
If your network does not support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must enter a valid TCP/IP configuration
before
connecting the ana-
lyzer to the LAN. Contact your network administrator, because connection errors can
affect the entire network.
For more information refer to the Windows "Help and Support Center".
To disable dynamic TCP/IP configuration and enter the TCP/IP address information
manually proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the analyzer and the IP address for the
local default gateway from your network administrator. If needed, also obtain the
name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers on
your network. If you use both LAN connectors, you need two different sets of
address information.
2. Press the Windows key to access the Start Menu and from there open the Control
Panel.
3. For each LAN interface to be configured, enter the IPv4 protocol stack configura-
tion provided by your network administrator, e.g.
Windows XP: "Control Panel – Network Connections – Local Area Connection Sta-
tus – Local Area Connection Properties – Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties"
