Set up LAN communications on the computer
This section describes how to set up the LAN communications on your computer.
Do not change your IP address without consulting your system administrator. Entering an incorrect
IP address can prevent your computer from connecting to your corporate network.
Record all network configurations before modifying any existing network configuration information on
the network interface card. Once the network configuration settings are updated, the previous
information is lost. This may cause a problem reconnecting the host computer to a corporate
network, particularly if DHCP is disabled.
Be sure to return all settings to their original configuration before reconnecting the host computer to a
corporate network. Contact your system administrator for more information.
Wait for the LAN status indicator on the front panel to turn solid green
When the LAN status indicator on the front panel of the instrument turns solid green, it confirms that
the instrument has been assigned an IP address. Note that it may take several minutes for the
computer and instrument to establish a connection.
