WVR8200 and WVR8300 User Manual
Use the following steps to upgrade the instrument software using a network
connection.
1. Connect the instrument and PC to your local Ethernet network.
2. Power on the instrument.
3. Assign the instrument an IP address:
NOTE.
The data-transfer utility requires that the instrument be assigned a valid
IP address. To allow network access to the instrument, the instrument must be
assigned a valid IP address for your network. Network addresses can be assigned
either manually or automatically using DHCP. If your network does not use
DHCP, you will have to manually enter the address for the instrument. To get a
valid IP address, contact your local LAN administrator.
Alternatively, if you connect the PC directly to the instrument using an Ethernet
cable, you can assign the instrument any IP address that is compatible with the
IP address of the PC.
a. Press the CONFIG button on the front panel.
b. Navigate to Network Settings > IP Config Mode.
c. Select either Manual or DHCP as directed by your LAN administrator.
Select Manual if you are using an Ethernet cable to connect the PC
directly to the instrument.
d. If you selected Manual mode, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address as directed by your LAN administrator. You need to
enter only an IP address if you are using an Ethernet cable to connect
the PC directly to the instrument.
NOTE. If you selected DHCP mode, the network automatically assigns the
instrument an IP address.
e. Press the CONFIG button on the front panel to close the menus.
4. Prepare the instrument for the software upgrade:
a. Press the CONFIG front panel button.
b. Navigate to Utilities > System Upgrade > Upgrade Options > Network
Upgrade.
c. Press the SEL front panel button. Note the IP address of the instrument
displayed in the System Software Upgrade window.
