To Configure the Remote Interface
3 Establish an "IP Setup."
To use the Agilent 33220A on the network, you must first establish an IP
setup, including an IP address, and possibly a subnet mask and gateway
address. Press the IP Setup softkey. By default, both DHCP and Auto IP
are set to On.
With DHCP On, an IP address will automatically be set by DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) when you connect the Agilent
33220A to the network, provided the DHCP server is found and is able to
do so. DHCP also automatically deals with the subnet mask and gateway
address, if required. This is typically the easiest way to establish LAN
communication for your instrument. All you need to do is leave DHCP On.
With Auto IP On, if DHCP fails to assign an IP address, Auto IP will
attempt to do so after a time-out period.
However, if you cannot establish communication by means of DHCP or
Auto IP, you will need to manually set an IP address, and a subnet mask
and gateway address if they are in use. Follow these steps:
a. Set the "IP Address." Press the softkeys to select DHCP Off and
Auto IP Off. The manual selection softkeys appear and the current IP
address is displayed:
Contact your network administrator for the IP address to use. All IP
addresses take the dot-notation form "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where "nnn"
in each case is a byte value in the range 0 through 255. You can enter
a new IP address using the numeric keypad (not the knob). Just type
in the numbers and the period delimiters using the keypad. Use the
left cursor key as a backspace key. Do not enter leading zeros. For
further information, see "More about IP Addresses and Dot Notation"
at the end of this section.
