Reviewing And Setting The Network Type - Fluke 2680A User Manual

Reviewing and Setting the Network Type

Perform the procedure below to review or set the network type to isolated. Perform
the procedure in Table 2-11 to review or set the network type to general. An
isolated network consists of only 2680 Series instruments and one or more host
computers. A general network consists of instruments, host computers, and
possibly servers, routers, gateways, or other network devices. (See Figure 2-16 for
examples.)
If you use Fluke DAQ software for isolated network operation and set the
instruments' network type to isolated, you do not need to know or set IP addresses
for your instruments.
