Configuring the E5810A on a Local Network
Apply Power to the
E5810
After connecting the E5810 to a Local network, plug the E5810 AC power
cord into an AC outlet and observe the power-on sequence. When the
power-on sequence is complete, the default IP address of the E5810 is
displayed on the second line of the front panel display. A typical display
follows. See
, “E5810A Description” for power-on sequences.
NOTE
Local networks may not have a DHCP Server. Since, by default, the
E5810 tries to find a DHCP server until a timeout value is reached, it may
require up to 75 seconds for the E5810 to display its default static IP
address (169.254.58.10).
NOTE
The E5810 detects duplicate IP addresses and will not start operation if
its IP address is already in use. If you try to simultaneously attach multiple
E5810s without changing each unit’s default static IP address, some
E5810s may not start operation.
To prevent this from happening, add a single E5810 at a time to the
network and configure each E5810 to a unique IP address before adding
additional E5810s.
