16.1.1 Connecting the instrument to the network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the instru-
ment and a single computer.
To connect a LAN cable
► Connect an RJ-45 cable to the LAN connector on the rear panel, and to the LAN.
For supported LAN interfaces, refer to the data sheet.
16.1.2 Assigning the IP address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the
address is assigned automatically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, or if the instrument is set to use manual
configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
By default, the instrument is configured to use DHCP and obtains all address informa-
tion automatically. Thus it is safe to establish a physical connection to the LAN without
any previous instrument configuration.
Ensure that you do not use the IP address range 192.168.0.x to avoid internal address
conflict.
Setting up a manual IP address within this range is rejected by the firmware. If the
automatic DHCP server assigns an IP address within this range, the instrument is not
reachable from this network.
An error message is displayed, if the firmware detects an IP address error:
To assign the IP address manually on the instrument
1.
NOTICE! 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.
