Ethernet Communication; Lan Connection - Holzworth Instrumentation HSX Series User Manual

6.3 ETHERNET COMMUNICATION

Ethernet communication can be established with the HSX9000 by connecting the
instrument to a local area network or directly to a PC. Locating the instrument is
handled differently depending on the method of connection and DHCP settings that
have been assigned. By default, the HSX9000 is set to utilize DHCP when connected
over a network.

6.3.1 LAN CONNECTION

Communication with the HSX9000 over a LAN connection defaults to the use of DHCP.
The instrument can be addressed by using either the network assigned IP address or by
using the instrument serial (ex. "HSX9000-123") and the TCP port (9760). Use the
Holzworth Ethernet Finder software to locate and modify IP address settings on the
instrument.
To search for devices, click the Devices button and then click Locate Devices in the
sub menu.
The software will then scan for instruments connected via Ethernet and via serial port. It
will display Ethernet devices as shown below:
Identify the instrument by serial # or IP address and click to connect. If the connection is
successful the window above 'Devices' will turn green (Ethernet) and display the
instrument serial number:
Users can also enter the instruments IP address manually to connect. Enter the IP
address into the 'Device IP Address' field and then press the Connect button.
If the connection is successful the window above 'Devices' will turn green and display
the IP address.
