When the IP Address Assignment control is set to Automatic, they function simply
as indicators showing the settings allocated by the DHCP server.
Figure 5-24, IP Address Setup Menu
Computer IP Address
In normal use, the instrument will accept connections from any IP address, and hence
can be operated from any computer on the network. In order to prevent operation
from computers other than the intended one, this control allows the address of the
controlling computer to be entered. It operates in a similar way to the other address
controls. Press a key adjacent to it to enter the Single Computer Access Setup menu,
which is similar to the IP Address Setup menu, shown in figure 5-24. Setting an IP
address of 0.0.0.0 allows access from any computer on the network; any other setting
restricts access to the computer having the specified address.
Link Status
This indicator shows whether the instrument is connected to a working network.
Crossover Status
This indicator shows whether the cable connecting the instrument to the network is
straight-through or crossover.
Speed
This indicator shows the network speed.
Duplex
This indicator shows whether the network is using half or full duplex transmission to
and from the instrument.
Connection Statistics
Pressing a key adjacent to this menu item allows access to several menus containing
further information about the Ethernet interface, that can be useful when
troubleshooting.
Pressing the Previous Menu key returns control to the Configuration Menu.
