1.3 10BASE-T LAN Communications Connecting one PC to multiple Instrument's in a HUB. Example 2 Use a straight cable to connect the PC to the HUB and to connect the instrument to the HUB. When building a local network with no outside connections, it is recommended that private IP addresses be used for the IP addresses.
1.3 10BASE-T LAN Communications 1.3.4 Communication Problems Have you completed the LAN setting before connection? The LAN setting is initialized when all the settings for communica- tions have been made. Be sure to complete this LAN setting before you connect the instrument to the network. When you edit the settings while the instrument is connected to the network, you may accidentally send illegal address information to the network.
Page 25
1.3 10BASE-T LAN Communications Can the instrument communicate with the PC? If the IP addresses of the instrument and the PC are correct, check to see whether the instrument receives signals from the PC using the ping protocol. Windows95/98/Me Choose [ ] from the Start menu.
1.3 10BASE-T LAN Communications 1.3.5 LAN Settings Host Name And IP Address Settings To connect the instrument to a LAN network, you need to set the host name of the instrument, IP address, subnet mask, port num- ber, and gateway. When connecting to an existing network, the specification items must first be assigned by the network system manager (depart- ment manager).
Page 27
1.3 10BASE-T LAN Communications DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Each device has to have a unique IP address to connect to a net- work. If the number of devices connecting to a network increases, it will become quite difficult to manually assign a unique IP address to each device.
Page 28
1.3 10BASE-T LAN Communications IP Address Assignment Each device must have a unique IP address, as controlled by the RIR (Regional Internet Registry). IP address assignment is controlled by the NIC (Network Informa- tion Center) of each country. You have to apply for assignment of an IP address from your country's NIC.
Page 29
DNS. When you set the name of the gateway, use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as "dns.hioki.co.jp." If you use the host name only, like "dns," you may not get the IP address from DNS.
1.4 PPP (RS-232C + Modem) Communications 1.4 PPP (RS-232C + Modem) Communica- tions 1.4.1 RS-232C and Modem Connection Use an RS-232C cable to connect this instrument and a modem so that measurement can be performed on PCs (with connected modems) at remote locations.
