Setting The Lan Subnet Mask; Reading The Domain Name; Configuring The Host Name - Fluke 8845A Programmer's Manual

To change the Meter's static IP Address:
1. From the LAN Port setup menu, press the IP_ADDR soft key.
2. Use the soft keys to set the IP Address as follows:
To select the address character to adjust, press either <-- or -->.
With the desired digit selected, press the soft key labeled -- to decrement the digit
or ++ to increment the character.
3. Press the ENTER soft key.
The IP address is stored in non-volatile memory, and does not change when
power is removed and reapplied to the Meter or receives an *RST
command.

Setting the LAN Subnet Mask

If communication between the host computer and the Meter passes through a router or
gateway, and DHCP is disabled, you must set the subnet mask and default gateway
address on both the host computer and the Meter. Get the correct subnet mask and
gateway address from your network administrator.
The LAN Subnet Mask is a 32-bit number. This number is represented as four 3-digit
segment numbers on the front-panel display. The default subnet mask set at the factory is
255.255.254.0.
To change the Meter's subnet mask:
1. From the LAN Port setup menu, press the NETMASK soft key.
2. Use the soft keys to set the subnet mask as follows:
To select the mask character to adjust, press either <-- or -->.
With the desired digit selected, press the soft key labeled -- to decrement the digit
or ++ to increment the character.
3. Press the ENTER soft key.
The new Subnet Mask will not take effect until the Meter has been powered down and
back up again using the rear-panel power switch.

Reading the Domain Name

The Domain Name is supplied by the DHCP server and can not be changed. To read the
domain name:
1. From the LAN Port setup menu, press MORE.
2. Press the DOMAIN soft key.
3. Press B to return to the LAN Port setup menu.

Configuring the Host Name

The Host Name is the host portion of the domain name, which is translated into an IP
address. The Meter's default host name is "test1".
