Setting the IP Address of the Spectrophotometer
The IP address of the LAN interface card inserted to the
spectrophotometer can be assigned by using the Agilent bootp service.
This service assigns the LAN interface card with a configured IP address,
each time an IP address is requested. Refer to the next section
"Using the
Agilent BootP Service"
on page 120.
If the system is on an isolated LAN and the default IP address 192.168.254.11 for the
N O T E
spectrophotometer is used, BootP is not necessary.
