Configuring for Network Connectivity

---

The E7495A/B can operate as a device on any compatible network. In order to be accessible on the network, certain information must be entered so the test set can communicate with other devices. Configuring the test set for network activity is performed by using the IP administrator located in the system utilities.

IP Administration Using DHCP

Perform this procedure to allow your test set to be integrated into an existing network that uses DHCP to dynamically assign an IP address. This procedure requires that you have the System Name (available from your network administrator).

	Step	Notes
1	[System]
2	[Controls]
3	[IP Admin]
4	[Sys Name]
5	Enter the name of the test set.	This is automatically assigned by the network administrator.
6	[Ok]
7	On [DHCP] select On.	An IP address and other network information will automatically be assigned if the Sys Name is recognized by the network.
8	[Save]
9	[Ok]	Saves the current configuration and restarts the test set. DHCP will dynamically assign an IP address.

IP Administration Without DHCP

Perform this procedure to allow your test set to be integrated into an existing network that uses a technique other than DHCP for its IP address assignments. One example of an alternative technique used for IP address assignments is DNS. This procedure requires the following specific data from the network administrator:

• System name
• IP address
• Net mask
• Gateway

  	Step	Notes
  1	[System]
  2	[Controls]
  3	[IP Admin]
  4	[Sys Name]
  5	Enter the name of the test set.	This name is usually assigned by the network administrator.
  6	[Ok]
  7	On [DHCP] select Off.	Each time you press this softkey, the selected option changes. Now you must specify relevant network information for the test set to be recognized. Contact your network administrator if you do not have this information.
  8	[IP Address]
  9	Enter the IP address.	Use the rotary knob and menu keys on the left.
  10	[Ok]
  11	[Net Mask]
  12	Enter the Net Mask.	Use the rotary knob and menu keys on the left.
  13	[Ok]
  14	[Gateway]
  15	Enter the Gateway.	Use the rotary knob and menu keys on the left.
  16	[Ok]
  17	[Save]
  18	[Ok]	Saves the current network configuration and restarts the test set.
