Model 2701 Instrument Networking Instruction Manual Software and Drivers 4-3
Built-in web diagnostic tool (free)
To start communicating with a properly connected and configured Model 2701, simply start
Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
on a PC and type the instrument's IP address into the URL line
(for a screen shot of the web page, see
Figure 3-2). The built-in web diagnostic interface allows
for easy communication and debugging, without the need to install external software.
This interface makes it easy to read and set network parameters such as IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, MAC address (read only), calibration dates, and other data stored in the
Model
2701. It also takes readings from the instrument and allows the user to send command
strings and receive data. (Refer to the Model 2701 User’s Manual for additional information on
the web page.)
