Setting the IP address for a 6850 GC with SN≥US102430001 
NOTE 
For Agilent 6850 (SN≤US00003200*) GCs refer to the instructions in the section Assigning IP 
addresses permanently with Telnet on page 16. 
1.  Turn the GC off. 
2.  Press and hold LOAD and turn the GC on. Continue to hold LOAD 
until five dots appear in the GC display. 
3.  When the GC finishes initializing, the display should read: 
DHCP mode or IP Address 
DISABLED XXX.XXX.XXX 
If the DHCP MODE is ENABLED, change the mode to DISABLED by 
pressing ▲ or ▼. 
Press LOAD to continue to the IP ADDRESS. 
If the GC does not display either of the above two screens, your 
GC uses card J2552B or card J4100A and firmware that does not 
support local IP addressing. If this is the case, either update the 
firmware or use Agilent Bootp service to set the IP address. 
4.  The display will now read: 
IP ADDRESS 
XXX.XXX.XXX 
Press LOAD to adjust the IP ADDRESS values. Press ▲ or ▼ to change 
values and LOAD to move from one value to the next. 
5.  When the IP ADDRESS is completed, the display reads: 
DEFAULT GATEWAY 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 
Change the DEFAULT GATEWAY as you did the IP ADDRESS. 
6.  Change the SUBNET MASK value in the same manner. 
7.  Cycle the GC power for the new settings to take effect.
