Configuring the Ethernet (LAN) Port

The Meter can be remotely controlled through the LAN port on the Meter's rear panel.
To select the LAN port as the remote control port, see the "Selecting the Remote
Interface" section above.
Configuring the LAN port is accomplished through the Instrument Setup function. The
selectable LAN port parameters are: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), IP
Address, Netmask, Host Name, Mac Address, Gateway, Port number, and Domain.
When setting IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways on the Meter, keep in
mind they are stored as 32-bit binary numbers and expressed as four 3-digit segments in
