Getting Network Information
This section gives guidelines to get information about Enterprise and Local
networks, as applicable to your requirements.
Getting Enterprise Network Information
Before you connect the E5810 to an Enterprise (corporate) network, you will
need to get some network configuration and network addressing parameters
from the System Administrator in your Information Technology (IT)
department.
Copy the Network
Information Card
Make a copy of the E5810 Network Information Card shown on the next
page. Then, enter the E5810 Serial Number and Ethernet (MAC) Hardware
Address on the card.The E5810 Serial Number and Ethernet (MAC)
Address are printed on a label on the underside of the E5810. See the
Glossary for descriptions of the items on the Network Information card.
Contact Your
System
Administrator
Tell your system administrator you want to add a new device (the E5810) to
the network that will provide remote access for GPIB and RS-232
instruments and ask him/her to provide the applicable network information
on the E5810 Network Information Card. In addition to the E5810 Serial
Number and Ethernet Address, tell the System Administrator about the
E5810 (default) information listed on the card.
Getting Local Network Information
For installation on a Local network, you will probably not need to contact
your IT department. However, you should have all the required network
information available, such as IP addresses, etc.
