Remote Interface Configuration 3
IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) Address is required for all IP and TCP/IP
communications with the instrument. If DHCP is enabled (factory setting), the
specified static IP address is not used. However, if the DHCP server fails to
assign a valid IP address, or if DHCP and Auto–IP are both off, the currently
configured static IP address will be used.
• Changing the IP address will cause an automatic LAN reset.
• The factory–set default IP Address is “169.254.4.10”.
• If you are planning to use a static IP address on a corporate LAN, contact
your network administrator to obtain a fixed IP address to be used
exclusively for your instrument.
• The IP address is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not change when
power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST) command, or after an
Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
Subnet Mask
The multimeter uses the Subnet Mask to determine if a client IP address is on
the same local subnet. When a client IP address is on a different subnet, all
packets must be sent to the Default Gateway. Contact your network
administrator to determine if subnetting is being used and for the correct
Subnet Mask.
• Changing the Subnet Mask setting will cause an automatic LAN reset.
• The default Subnet Mask for the 34410A/11A multimeter is “255.255.0.0”.
• A value of “0.0.0.0” or “255.255.255.255” indicates that subnetting is not
being used.
• The Subnet Mask is stored in non–volatile memory, and does not change
when power has been off, after a Factory Reset (*RST) command, or after
an Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet) command.
