LAN Settings
The following sections describe the primary front panel LAN configuration functions, including SCPI commands
where applicable. In the DAQ970A/DAQ973A Programming Guide, see "SYSTem Subsystem - Remote Interface
Configuration Commands" for all LAN configuration commands.
Some LAN settings require you to cycle power to activate them. The instrument briefly displays a message
when this is the case. Observe the display closely as you change the LAN settings.

View the LAN status, MAC status, and current LAN configuration settings
Once the LAN interface is enabled, you can view the LAN status, MAC address, and current LAN configuration
settings from the front panel. The LAN status may be different from the front panel configuration menu settings,
which depends on the network configuration. If the settings are different, it is because the network has automatically
assigned its own settings. If the instrument goes into remote, all LAN changes will be disabled and the display will go
into a different screen. Re-selecting with LAN Settings page will display the new settings if a LAN restart took place.

As shipped from the factory, the instrument pre-configured settings (DHCP is on) should work in most LAN
environments. However, if you wish to manually set an IP address, Subnet Mask, or Default Gatewway, turn DHCP
off, then change the IP setup as described below.
Manual/DHCP
The DHCP can automatically assign a dynamic IP address to a LAN device. This is typically the easiest way to
configure the instrument for LAN. This setting is non-volatile, it will not be changed by cycling power, factory reset
(*RST command), or instrument preset (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Disabling DHCP will enable the Manual setting, and vice versa.
