Remote Interface Configuration - 34972A
Setting the IP Address
You can set the IP address for your 34972A. This menu option assigns
the static IP address for the instrument. You must disable DHCP in
order to set this on the front panel.
The static IP address is applied when DHCP is disabled. If DHCP is
enabled, DHCP will auto-assign the IP address. This auto-assigned IP
address takes precedence over the static IP address assigned with this
feature.
• Front-Panel Operation:
IP ADDRESS
Setting the Subnet Mask
You can set the subnet mask for your LAN connection. This menu option
assigns a Subnet Mask for the instrument. The instrument uses the
Subnet Mask to determine whether a client IP address is on the same
local subnet. You must disable DHCP in order to set this on the front
panel.
When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all packets must be
sent to the Default Gateway. Contact your network administrator to
determine whether subnetting is being used and for the correct Subnet
Mask.
