Conguring and Establishing a LAN Connection
9.3 Conguring and Establishing a LAN Connection
This section describes how to connect the instrument to a computer with a LAN cable.
• You can congure the instrument’s settings, record waveforms, and observe the recorded
waveforms with the Logger Utility. (p. 235)
• You can remotely control the instrument (to congure settings, acquire data, or monitor its screen)
using a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer
®
. (HTTP server) (p. 254)
• You can download les from storage media (an SD Memory Card or a USB Drive) to a computer.
(FTP server) (p. 261)
• You can set up the system so that waveform les stored on instrument media are automatically
sent over the network or to the FTP server on a remotely located computer. (FTP client) (p. 261)
• You can send data while measurement is in progress to a computer or other device with email
capability on the local network or in a remote location via the instrument's SMTP mail server
function. (p. 284)
• You can control the instrument using communication commands. (p. 292)
IMPORTANT
• Be sure to congure the LAN settings before connecting the instrument to a network.
• Changing the settings while the instrument is connected to a network could cause the
instrument to be assigned the same IP address as another device on the LAN or incorrect
address data to be sent to the network.
Checking settings before connecting the instrument
Di󰀨erent settings are used depending on whether you wish to connect the instrument to an existing
network or to connect the instrument to a single computer.
Connecting the instrument to an existing network
You will need to have your network system administrator (department) assign the following settings
in advance. Be sure that the instrument is not using the same IP address as any other device on
the network.
DHCP server Whether to use a DHCP server: Use or not use
Host name
IP address
Subnet mask
Hostname
IP address
Subnet mask: ___.___.___.___
(The IP address and subnet mask are unnecessary if using the DHCP
server.)
Port number TCP/IP port number to use: ___X (default setting: 880x)
(Specify at least the rst 3 digits of the 4- or 5-digit port number. The
last digit is reserved for use by the instrument. Specify when the default
setting of 8800 to 8809 cannot be used.)
Gateway Gateway: Use or not use
IP address (if using): ___.___.___.___
(The setting is not required when using the DHCP server because the
gateway will be acquired from the server.)
DNS DNS: Use or not use
IP address (if using): ___.___.___.___
(The setting is not required when using the DHCP server because the
gateway will be acquired from the server.)
