To allow network access to the instrument, you must set the IP address. Network
addresses can be assigned either automatically (DHCP) or manually. If your
network does not use DHCP, you will have to manually enter the address for the
instrument. To get a fixed address, talk to your LAN administrator. The default IP
address of the PRISM monitor is 192.168.1.2.
To connect your instrument to a network and access it with a remote PC, do the
following:
1. On the PRISM monitor, touch the Settings icon to display the Settings menu.
2. Touch Network to open the Network submenu.
3. Touch CONTROL IP PORT to open the Control IP Port submenu.
4. Depending on your local network requirements, touch DHCP or Manual to
select the method for selecting an IP address.

5. If you cannot use DHCP and you selected Manual, use the Manual submenu
to set the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address and DNS address network
parameters you obtained from your LAN administrator. (Be sure to use
compatible addresses between the PC and the instrument.) Touch an address
box to open the address editing tool. Use the editing box as described for
editing an IP input address. (See Figure 30 on page 49.)
