Connecting the Instrument to the Network

There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
● A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an
existing network.
● A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the
instrument and a single computer.
In both cases, an IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the com-
puter, see Chapter 2.3.2.2, "Assigning the IP
Risk of network failure
Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks:
● Connecting the instrument to the network
● Configuring the network

Errors can affect the entire network.

If the instrument is connected to the LAN, the operating system automatically
detects the network connection and activates the required drivers.
