10.4.4.1.2 Step 2: Connecting the measurement device
When you connect the SICAM Q80 7KG8080 device directly to your PC, you must used a "crossed" network cable
(included in package, black color). If the measurement device is connected to the network via a network hub or switch,
or a patch box, use an uncrossed network cable (red color, included). Present-day are able to switch electronically, so
that it doesn't matter whether the cable is crossed or uncrossed.
10.4.4.1.3 Step 3: IP-configuration via IF-Config
Start IF-Config: Start \ Programs \SICAM Q80 Manager \ SICAM Q80 Manager IF-Config. Click on the
to your PC's name in order to start an automatic device search. Then all available devices in this network appear in
the tree diagram under your PC. Double-click over the device and select the item LAN.
If the option Use DHCP is checked, the IP-address is obtained automatically from the DHCP-server and there is no
possibility of changing the settings. If there is a direct connection between the device and the PC with a crossed
cable, you should deactivate the DHCP. Since no DHCP-server is supplying the necessary settings, the set values are
used. These could lead to errors in the connection (different networks, same IP-addresses, etc.). Inquire with your
network administrator whether a DHCP server exists, or which IP-address you should set.
If you don't wish to use DHCP, you must set the IP-address manually. Make sure that the device's IP-address
matches your PC's, in other words that in the network mask only the portion representing the device is different (see
example). Analogously, you can also make modem.

In order to apply the changes made, click in the tree diagram on the device name and then on the button Accept. Wait
for the device to restart and then close the program IF-Config.
