NOTE

• The E5810B may require up to 75 seconds to display the default static

IP address (169.254.58.10) as it will try to find a DHCP server until a

timeout value is reached.

• If you try to simultaneously attach multiple E5810Bs without changing

each unit’s default static IP address, some E5810Bs may not be able to

start operation. The E5810B detects duplicated IP addresses and will

not start operation if the IP address is already in use.

• To prevent this, add a E5810B at a time and configure the E5810B to a

unique IP address before adding the additional E5810Bs.
