Details
This command specifies how the LAN IP address and other LAN settings are assigned. If automatic configuration
is selected, the instrument automatically determines the LAN information. When method is automatic, the
instrument first attempts to configure the LAN settings using dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP). If
DHCP fails, it tries dynamic link local addressing (DLLA). If DLLA fails, an error occurs.
If manual is selected, you must define the IP address. You can also assign a subnet mask, and default gateway.
The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be formatted in four groups of numbers, each separated
by a decimal. If you do not specify a subnet mask or default gateway, the previous settings are used.
Example
lan.ipconfig(lan.MODE_AUTO)
print(lan.ipconfig())
lan.ipconfig(lan.MODE_MANUAL, "192.168.0.7", "255.255.240.0",
"192.168.0.3")
print(lan.ipconfig())
Set the IP configuration method to automatic. Request the IP configuration. Example output:
lan.MODE_AUTO 134.63.78.136
Set the IP configuration method to manual. Request the IP configuration. Output:
lan.MODE_MANUAL 192.168.0.7
