Reviewing and Setting the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway 2-35.
If communication between the host computer and the NetDAQ instrument passes
through a router or gateway, you must set the subnet mask and default gateway
address on both the host computer and the instrument. Get this information from
your network administrator.
For more information on the purpose of the subnet mask and default gateway
address, see Appendix I, “Network Considerations.”
Perform the procedure in Figure 2-27 to review or set the instrument network
gateway parameters. The network gateway parameters include turning the default
gateway feature on or off, setting a subnet mask, and setting an IP address for the
gateway attached to the local network.
Note
Set the IP address of the instrument before the setting gateway
parameters. The NetDAQ instrument checks the gateway IP address
for validity by using the instrument IP address.
•
Default Gateway Parameters If the NetDAQ instrument and host PC are on
different subnets and must communicate through a gateway (router), turn the
default gateway feature ON and enter the subnet mask and IP address of the
gateway, as supplied by your network administrator. If you do not require a
gateway, turn the default gateway feature OFF.
