Communication Settings
11.1 INTERFACE Screen (LAN Interface)
The LAN capabilities of the instrument are supported through the Ethernet
10Base-T interface. You can connect to networks with an Ethernet 10BASE-
T-compatible cable (maximum length 100 m).
Connecting to a network enables you to communicate with the Hioki PC
communication program, 9333 LAN COMMUNICATOR.
Further, because the 8855 can be controlled by Communication command,
control programs can be created and the instrument controlled by connection
to the communication command port using TCP.
Further, because the 8855 provides an FTP service, you can use an FTP
client from your PC to access the files in this instrument.
For details on how to use the 9333 LAN COMMUNICATOR, see the 9333
User's Guide; and for details on communication commands, see the
explanation in the supplied FDD.
This section explains LAN settings.
Settings and Connection Order
The settings and connections are performed in the following order.
1. Make all the LAN settings.
2. Move the cursor to Reset and press Execute on the GUI.(If you do not
reset, your settings are not reflected in the LAN that is currently
operating.)
3. Plug the LAN cable and connect to the network.
Because it is possible to duplicate the IP address of another device on the
LAN when modifying settings while connected (causing illegal address
information to be distributed), make sure that you adjust the settings before
connecting to the network.
Preparations
Make the following settings when connecting to the network. Ask your
network administrator to provide you with the following.
