To communicate with the MS2710xA Remote Spectrum Monitor (RSM) or to change its IP
configuration, a PC must be correctly set up to communicate with the instrument via a direct
connection using a static IP. The sections in this guide explain using:
• A Windows PC to directly communicate with the Anritsu spectrum monitor
• SCPI commands for configuring the Ethernet and DNS settings
• The Anritsu Windows network discovery tool to find the instrument IP address
The remote spectrum monitor is shipped with the following default IP configuration:
• DHCP: OFF (Static IP Address)
• Static IP Address: 10.0.0.2
• Static Subnet: 255.255.255.0
• Static Gateway: 10.0.0.0
