Series 2600B System SourceMeter® instrument User's Manual

Use the ID button to identify the instrument

If you have a bank of instruments, you can select the ID button to determine which instrument you are
communicating with.
The ID button is below the menu on every page of the web interface.
To identify the instrument:
1. Select ID. The button turns green and the message "LAN Status Indicator" is displayed on the
front panel of the instrument.
2. Select ID again to return the button to its original color and return the front-panel display to its
previous state.

Change the IP configuration through the web interface

You can change the LAN settings through the web interface on the instrument. The LAN settings you
can change include the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS address.
If you change the IP address through the web interface, the web interface tries to redirect to the IP
address that is configured in the instrument. In some cases, this may fail. This generally happens if
you switch from an IP address assignment that uses a static address to an IP address assignment
that uses a DHCP server. If this happens, you need to revert to either using the front panel to set the
IP address or use an automatic discovery tool to determine the new IP address.
You can use the host name instead of the IP address to connect to the instrument.
You can also change the IP configuration through the front panel or with TSP commands. Refer to
"LAN communications" section of the Series 2600B Reference Manual for information on setting the
configuration through the front panel. Refer to the lan.config.* command descriptions in the
"TSP command reference" section of the Series 2600B Reference Manual for information on using
TSP commands to configure the LAN settings.
To change the IP configuration using the web interface:
1. Access the web interface as described in
2. Select IP Configuration.
3. Select Modify. The Modify IP Configuration page is displayed.
4. Change the values.
5. Click Submit. The instrument reconfigures its settings, which may take a few moments.
You may lose your connection with the web interface after clicking Submit. This is normal. If this
occurs, find the correct IP address and reopen the web interface of the instrument to continue.
