1.5 Connecting the Instrument to a Network (LAN)

The instrument is equipped with a network connection and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). The instrument can also be remote-controlled and
manually operated in the network. Remote operation allows someone to operate the
instrument from an external computer situated anywhere in the world. For example, a
user working in one part of a building can operate one or more instrument units that
are part of a test setup situated in another part of the building. Remote control of the
instrument via the LAN interface is described in chapters 3 and 4 of the User Manual
(on the supplied CD-ROM).
Refer to section 2.7 of the User Manual for detailed information about configuring the
instrument for connection to a network.

1.5.1 Connecting to the Network

Always coordinate the connection of the instrument to the network with the network
administrator. Any errors that occur during the connection process can affect the entire
network. Make sure that the instrument is switched off when you connect and
disconnect the network cable. This is the only way to ensure that the network
connection is reliably detected and any disruptions during the operation of the
instrument are avoided.
The instrument is connected to the LAN using a standard RJ45 cable via the
CONTROL LAN interface on the rear of the instrument.
Configuring the instrument for network operation
The network interface functions with 100 MHz or 10 MHz Ethernet IEEE 802.3u. The
TCP/IP network protocol and the associated network services are preconfigured. To
exchange data within a LAN, every computer or instrument that is connected must
have a unique IP address.
Networks with DHCP
The instrument can be configured for networks using the dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP). In such networks, the instrument is automatically assigned a free IP
address. Depending upon the configuration of the network you may have to contact the
network administrator to configure a DHCP server to provide an IP address for the
instrument.
