Subnet Mask (LAN) Subnetting allows the network administrator to
divide a network into smaller networks to simplify administration and to
minimize network traffic. The subnet mask indicates the portion of the
host address to be used to indicate the subnet.
• You need not set a subnet mask if DHCP or Auto IP is in use.
• Contact your network administrator to find out whether subnetting is
being used, and for the correct subnet mask.
• Enter the subnet mask using the numeric keypad (not the knob).
• The subnet mask is stored in non-volatile memory and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front panel operation: Press and press the I/O softkey. Select
LAN, then Modify Settings, followed by IP Setup. By default, DHCP
and Auto IP are On. Select DHCP Off and Auto IP Off. Then select
Subnet Mask. Enter the appropriate mask (for example: 255.255.0.0).
• There is no SCPI command to set a subnet mask.
Default Gateway (LAN) A gateway is a network device that provides a
connection between networks. The default gateway setting is the IP
address of such a device.
• You need not set a gateway address if DHCP or Auto IP is in use.
• Contact your network administrator to find out whether a gateway is
being used, and for the address.
• Enter the gateway address using the numeric keypad (not the knob).
• The gateway address is stored in non-volatile memory and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Front panel operation: Press and press the I/O softkey. Select
LAN, then Modify Settings, followed by IP Setup. By default, DHCP
and Auto IP are On. Select DHCP Off and Auto IP Off. Then select
Default Gateway and set the appropriate gateway address.
• There is no SCPI command to set a gateway address.
