NOTE
If this does not work, perform a low-level verification of the LAN connection
using ping. To do this, open a MS-DOS Command Prompt box and type:
ping <default hostname>. Ping should indicate that it was able to connect with
the N5700 unit. It will also indicate the IP address assigned.
Note that certain firewall software can interfere with ping. If ping does not
work, try temporarily disabling the firewall.
If Ping still does not work, you may need to configure the LAN parameters
using the Setup Utility as described later in this section.
Configuring the LAN parameters:
To configure the LAN parameters from the instrument’s Web server,
click on the View & Modify Configuration tab on the left side of the
page. Then click on the Modify Configuration button on the top of the
page. The following screen lets you modify the LAN parameters:
The configurable LAN parameters include:
DHCP This parameter allows Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) to be enabled or disabled. DHCP is a
protocol for assigning dynamic addresses to devices on a
network. If DHCP is enabled (On), the instrument will try
to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. If a DHCP
server is found, the DHCP server will assign an IP
address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway to the
instrument. If DHCP is disabled (Off) or unavailable, the
instrument will try to obtain an IP address using Auto IP.
