Configuring the LAN Settings and Connecting to the Network
9.1 Configuring the LAN Settings and Connecting
to the Network
Before accessing the instrument with a PC using the FTP or an Internet browser, or using command
communication, configure the LAN settings of the instrument and connect the instrument to your
PC with a LAN cable.
Be sure to configure the LAN settings before connecting the instrument to the network. When you
change the settings while the instrument is connected to the network, the IP addresses may not be
unique or invalid address data may be transmitted over the network.
For more information on how to connect the instrument to PCs, refer to "2.6 Connecting the
Instrument with PCs" in Quick Start Manual.
IMPORTANT
Do not change any settings for Windows
Doing so may cause the system operation to become unstable.
