Remote Computer Configuration
The remote computer and the instrument must be on the same network. The following is the recommended configuration:
- The IP addresses on both devices must have the same first three sets of 0-255 numbers (octets) and differ in their last octets.
- The subnet masks on both devices should be 255.255.255.0.
- The gateways on both devices must be the same, but must differ from the IP addresses in their last octets (optional).
| Instrument Setting | Remote Computer | |
|---|---|---|
| IP Address | 192.168.77.101 | 192.168.77.100 |
| Subnet Mask | 255.255.255.0 | 255.255.255.0 |
| Gateway | 192.168.77.10 | 192.168.77.10 |
|
If the remote computer has multiple Network Interface Cards (NICs), only change the settings of the NIC that is connected to the instrument. Refer to the computer's operating system manual or the internet for instructions on how to change the network settings of the NIC in use. Bridged instruments must have different IP addresses. |
- In the instrument application, tap the Maintenance menu, then tap Advanced.
- In the Network field, tap Static and enter the details from the MIC SAS column in the table Configuration Settings Examples.
| If an error occurs regarding IP conflicts, contact your IT department to release IP addresses on the same subnet. |
To access the instrument from the remote computer, enter the IP address of the instrument in a web browser on the remote computer. Firefox and Chrome are the recommended browsers.
