12 Ethernet connection specification 167
Figure 12.6 Ethernet connector on the underside of the Front panel.
Note: The DTR has automatic speed negotiation, i.e. it will automatically find
out what the optimal speed for the connection is and choose accordingly either
10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s speed.
12.2 Connection settings
12.2.1 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.
12.2.2 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.
