Different promote messages will be provided by DG5000 based on the current
network status.
 Connected: LAN connection is successful.
 Disconnect: LAN connection is unsuccessful.
MAC Address
For a generator, the MAC address is always unique. It is always used to identify the
instrument while assigning IP address for instrument.
VISA Descriptor
This descriptor will display the current IP address of the instrument.
IP Configure Mode
IP configure mode could be DHCP, AutoIP or ManualIP. If the current network is
disconnected, there will be nothing to display behind “IP Configure Mode:”. In
different IP configure modes, the configure mode for LAN parameters such as IP
address will be different.
1. DHCP
 In DHCP mode, DHCP server in the current network assigns LAN parameters,
e.g. IP address, for the generator.
 Press DHCP to select “On” or “Off” to turn DHCP mode on or off.
2. AutoIP
 In AutoIP mode, the generator acquires IP address within 169.254.0.1 and
169.254.255.254 and subnet mask 255.255.0.0 automatically based on the
current network configuration.
 Press AutoIP to select “On” or “Off” to turn AutoIP mode on or off. To
enable this mode, set DHCP as “Off”.
3. ManualIP
 In ManualIP mode, the LAN parameters of the generator, e.g. IP address, are
defined by users.
