Restore the Host PCs Network Settings
1) Power down the EX1200 and reconnect it to the LAN in its desired location.
2) If the PC was originally set to use a static IP address, use the procedure in Determine PCs
Network Settings to change the PCs IP address back to its original state.
3) Power on the EX1200 and wait for the LAN LED to turn solid green.
4) Discover the EX1200 using LXI Discovery Tool as described in Web Page Operation in
Section 7.
Using Multiple Network Cards
When multiple network cards exist in a single PC, it may be necessary to define a static IP address
to both the host PC NIC card that will interface with the EX1200 mainframe as well as the
EX1200 itself. This process is only necessary if a DCHP server is not connected to the network to
which the device is connected and typically occurs when the NIC is connected directly to the
instrument.
The following process can be used to ensure proper functionality.
1) Navigate to Start → Settings → Network Connections.
2) Disable all network interfaces except the one that is connected to the EX1200 mainframe.
This is done by right clicking on the interface, then selecting Disable.
3) Open the web page of the EX1200 mainframe.
4) Click the IP Configuration link. A prompt may appear to log into the EX1200 mainframe.
5) Unselect DHCP and AutoIP and ensure that Static is selected.
6) Enter an IP address into the IP Address field. Although any valid network IP address can be
used, 192.168.1.2 is used in this example. For more information on valid IP addresses, please
consult with an IT administrator.
7) Set the Subnet Mask. For this example, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
