Connecting To The Lan; Setting The Lan Configuration Method; Setting The Ip Address - Keithley 2651A Reference Manual

Appendix C: LAN concepts and settings

Connecting to the LAN

Each device on the LAN (corporate or private) requires a unique IP address. Contact your IT
department for details on obtaining an IP address before you deploy the Model 2651A on a corporate
or private network.
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department for permission before you connect the
Model 2651A to a corporate network.

Setting the LAN configuration method

There are two methods used to configure the LAN.
AUTO: Use the Auto setting to allow the DHCP server to automatically set the LAN settings.
You do not need to set the LAN options manually. The DHCP server automatically configures the IP
address, subnet mask and the default gateway. A DHCP server must be available on the LAN in
order to use this option.
MANUAL: Use the Manual setting to manually configure the communication parameters.
The MANUAL setting requires you to configure the following:
• IP address
• Gateway
• Subnet mask
To select a LAN configuration method:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > CONFIG > METHOD.
2. Select either AUTO or MANUAL.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
5. Select APPLY_SETTINGS > YES, then press the ENTER key.

Setting the IP address

Contact your IT department to secure a valid IP address for the instrument when placing the
instrument on a corporate network.
The IP address does not need to be manually set if the LAN configuration method is set to AUTO.
