3. In a Windows operating system, use the Windows Control Panel to assign the network interface
card IP address. The exact steps differ somewhat for each version of Windows. See
network configuration settings
(on page 2-47).
4. Using the front-panel menus, assign a unique IP address to each of the other two instruments.
See
Set the IP address on the instrument
(on page 2-43).
It is a good idea to record IP addresses for reference. This is especially important when changing the
existing network settings on the computer.
5. Verify that the instruments and the network have been set up and are working properly. You can
try logging into the web interface of the instrument to test the connection. See
