Setting the generator's IP address
881/882 Video Test Generator User Guide (Rev A.25)
Note: If you are using a PC that is connected to a network that automatically assigns an
IP address, and you will be disconnecting from that network to connect to the crossover
cable and generator, you must manually enter an IP address into the PC so it can
communicate with the generator. The network portions of the IP addresses of the generator
and the PC must match.
When the network connection on the generator is active, the Network LED lights on the
front panel.
You can either set the IP address of the generator manually with an address you select or
automatically by using the built in DHCP support. The default state of the generator is that
DHCP is off. So you have to enable it if you want the IP address to be set automatically
from a DHCP server. The procedures for setting the IP address manually and enabling
DHCP for auto configuration are provided below.
Each generator on the network must have a unique IP address if you want to control the
generator over a network, or want the generator to share resources located on a file
server. Typically, your site's LAN administrator will provide you with IP addresses for each
generator. Depending on how your site's LAN is configured, your LAN adminstrator may
also provide you with a subnet mask.
To set the IP address of the generator:
1. Press the Tools key. The Tools menu appears on the generator's display as shown
below.
