Getting Ready for Using LAN

Getting ready for LAN connection

Before connecting the 4294A with LAN, you set an IP address (a unique address within a
single LAN assigned to a device to identify it in making LAN connection), a gateway IP
address (the IP address of a routing device that connects your the 4294A's LAN with other
LANs), and a sub-net mask (a numerical value used to judge whether your the 4294A
needs to route communications through the gateway).
NOTE
Obtain the settings of IP address, gateway address, and sub-net mask from your network
administrator.
NOTE If your network doesn't need to be connected with devices on different physical networks,
usually you need to set neither the gateway IP address nor the sub-net mask.
NOTE To validate the IP address, the gateway IP address, and the sub-net mask you set, you need
to cycle power of the 4294A (power it off and power it on again).
