Note: For DP831A/DP832A/DP821A/DP811A, the instrument is installed with the LAN and RS232
options when it leaves factory; users can build the remote communication between the instrument and
PC via the LAN or RS232 interface directly. For DP831/DP832/DP821/DP811, the LAN interface
communication and RS232 interface communication are optional functions; to use the functions,
please order the corresponding option and install the option correctly ( :LIC:SET ).
(1) Use the USB interface: connect the USB DEVICE interface at the rear panel of DP800 and the USB
HOST interface of the PC using USB cable.
(2) Use the LAN interface:
 Make sure that your PC is connected to the local network.
 Check whether your local network supports DHCP or auto IP mode. If not, you need to
acquire the network interface parameters available, including the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS.
 Connect DP800 to the local network using network cable.
 Press Utility  I/O Config  LAN to configure the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and
DNS of the instrument.
