9.3 Configuring and Establishing a LAN Connection

This section describes how to connect the instrument to a computer with a LAN cable.
• You can configure the instrument's settings, record waveforms, and observe the recorded
waveforms with the Logger Utility. (p. 2 35)
• You can remotely control the instrument (to configure settings, acquire data, or monitor its screen)
using a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer
• You can download files from storage media (an SD Memory Card or a USB Drive) to a computer.
(FTP server) (p. 2 61)
• You can set up the system so that waveform files stored on instrument media are automatically
sent over the network or to the FTP server on a remotely located computer. (FTP client) (p. 2 61)
• You can send data while measurement is in progress to a computer or other device with email
capability on the local network or in a remote location via the instrument's SMTP mail server
function. (p. 2 84)
• You can control the instrument using communication commands. (p. 2 92)
IMPORTANT
• Be sure to configure the LAN settings before connecting the instrument to a network.
• Changing the settings while the instrument is connected to a network could cause the
instrument to be assigned the same IP address as another device on the LAN or incorrect
address data to be sent to the network.
Checking settings before connecting the instrument
Different settings are used depending on whether you wish to connect the instrument to an existing
network or to connect the instrument to a single computer.
Connecting the instrument to an existing network
You will need to have your network system administrator (department) assign the following settings
in advance. Be sure that the instrument is not using the same IP address as any other device on
the network.
