You can use one of the following two methods to connect the instrument to your
PC(s):
If you are connecting the instrument directly to a single PC, use an Ethernet
cable to connect between the Ethernet port on the instrument and the Ethernet
port on the PC.
If you are connecting the instrument to your local Ethernet network, use an
Ethernet cable to connect between the Ethernet port on the instrument and
the Ethernet hub port of your local network. By connecting to an Ethernet
network, you can access the instrument using any PC on the network.
The following two procedures describe how to configure the ECO8000 Series
network parameters. Use the first procedure if your network supports DHCP; use
the second procedure if your network does not support DHCP.
To configure parameters for a network with a DHCP server. If your network has
a DHCP server, perform the following steps to configure the instrument to
function as a DHCP client. When the instrument is connected to the network and
DHCP service is enabled, the instrument obtains the necessary network addresses
automatically from the DHCP server.
NOTE.
Under some network environments, the instrument may not be able to
get the IP address automatically from a DHCP server. In this case, you need to
manually enter the appropriate network parameter values.
Refer to your network administrator or to the user documentation supplied with
your network server operating system (OS) for detailed information about DHCP
server functions.
