11.2 Connection settings
11.2.1 IP settings for DTR
The DTR uses the IP protocol to communicate over the Ethernet. The factory set-
ting for the DTR’s IP address is 192.168.23.254 (a private network address).
Note: If you connect the DTR to an existing network, the address must be changed
to fit the network before making the connection. To prevent conflicts, consult your
network administration to find a suitable IP address for the DTR in question.
The DTR address is changed manually through the Calibration menu via the follow-
ing path:
5 Calibration – 2 Output – 6 Network . Type the new IP address and press
the Enter button to change the address.
11.2.2 IP settings for stand-alone computer
If you connect a non-networking (stand-alone) computer directly to a DTR with a
cross-over cable, the easiest solution is to check the computer’s network settings
and conform the DTR’s settings to it.
Note:
If the DTR is in a factory network, contact the system admin on how to
connect to the DTR. The stand-alone method may not be the best one in this kind
of case.
If you are using Windows 2000/XP/Vista (or Mac OS X 10.3 or newer or any recent
Linux distribution) and the computer has the default network settings, change
the DTR IP address to 169.254.x.y, where x=1–254 and y=1–254, for example
169.254.100.100 or 169.254.123.1. This way the DTR address will be suitably
paired with the address your computer automatically generates for itself.
If in doubt, you can get your Windows computer’s network settings by opening the
command window (command prompt) and by typing the command
ipconfig at
