11.1 Conguring the LAN Settings and Connecting
the Instrument to the Network
Congure the LAN settings of the instrument and connect the instrument to your computers with
LAN cables before accessing the instrument from your computers using the FTP or a web browser,
or using command communication.
Be sure to specify the LAN settings before connecting the instrument to the network. When you
change the settings while the instrument is connected to the network, the IP addresses may fail to
be unique or invalid address data may be transmitted over the network.
For more information on how to connect the instrument to computers, refer to “2.4 Connecting the
Instrument With Computers” in Quick Start Manual.
IMPORTANT
Do not change any Windows
®
setting unless otherwise indicated in this document.
Doing so may cause unstable system operation.
Conguring the LAN settings with the instrument
Items to be checked before conguring the LAN settings
The required settings are different depending on whether to connect the instrument to an existing
network or to establish a new network consisting of only the instrument and a computer.
When connecting the instrument to the existing network
Ask your network administrator to assign the following items in advance. Be sure that there is no
conict with other devices.
• The computer name and address of the instrument
Computer name (up to 15 characters): ____________
IP address: .................................. ___.___.___.___
Subnet mask: .............................. ___.___.___.___
• Gateway
Whether to use a gateway: ......... Yes/No
IP address (When used): ___.___.___.___
When establishing a new network consisting of the instrument and a computer
(Using the instrument on the local network not connect to any external networks)
When no administrator exists for your network or you are entrusted with the settings, the following
addresses are recommended.
Setting example:
IP Address
Computer: 192.168.0.1

IP Address
The IP addresses are used to identify individual devices on the network.
Assign a unique address different from that of other devices.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask divides the IP address into the network address and the host address.
Congure the subnet mask settings in the same way as those of other devices on the
network.
Gateway
For network connection
When your computer to be used (host device) connects to another network than the
instrument, specify a gateway device.
When your computer connects to the same network, usually assign the same address
as the default gateway in the computer communications settings.
