Note: When DHCP is changed from "On" to "Off", the previously set IP

address and subnet mask are retrieved.

If DHCP is "On", the IP address of the DHCP server is obtained automatically.

The configuration is saved, and you are prompted to restart the instrument.

You can skip the remaining steps.

Note: When a DHCP server is used, a new IP address may be assigned each

time the instrument is restarted. This address must first be determined on the

instrument itself. Thus, when using a DHCP server, it is recommended that

you use the permanent computer name, which determines the address via the

DNS server

(See "Using a DNS server to determine the IP address" on page 32 and

Chapter 3.5.3, "Using Computer Names", on page 34).

5. Enter the "IP Address", for example 192.0.2.0. The IP address consists of four

number blocks separated by dots. Every block contains a maximum of 3 num-

bers.

6. Enter the "Subnet Mask", for example 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask con-

sists of four number blocks separated by dots. Every block contains a maxi-

mum of 3 numbers.

7. Select "Configure Network".

If you have entered an invalid IP address or subnet mask, the message "out of

range" is displayed in the status line. If the settings are correct, the configura-

tion is saved, and you are prompted to restart the instrument.

8. Confirm the displayed message ("Yes" button) to restart the instrument.

Using a DNS server to determine the IP address

If a DNS server is configured on the R&S FPL1000, the server can determine the

current IP address for the connection using the permanent computer name.

1. Obtain the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS and

WINS servers on your network.

2. Press the "Windows" key on the external keyboard or the CTRL + ESC key

combination on your keyboard to access the operating system.

3. Select "Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet > Network and Shar-

ing Center > Connections: Ethernet".
