Connect to a network (LAN)
Connecting to a network allows you to remotely access the instrument.
Work with your network administrator to obtain the required information to connect to your network (IP address, Gateway IP address,
Subnet Mask, DNS IP address, and so on).
1. Connect a CAT5 cable from the instrument LAN connector to your network.
2. Select Utility > I/O on the menu bar to open the I/O configuration menu.
3. Obtain or enter the network address information:
• If your network is DHCP-enabled, and the IP address field does not already show an address, tap Auto to obtain the IP address
information from the network. DHCP mode is the default mode.
• If your network is not DHCP-enabled, or you need a permanent (non-changing) IP address for this instrument, tap Manual and
enter the IP address and other values provided by your IT or system administrator resource.
4. Tap Test Connection to verify that the network connection is working. The LAN Status icon turns green when the instrument
successfully connects to your network. If you have problems connecting to your network, contact your system administration resource
for help.
