How to Set a Static IP Address
The DHCP server automates the process of setting up the IP addresses on your network
by default. When the N8201A performance downconverter is turned on, it searches for a
DHCP server on the network and selects a “dynamic IP address”. Each time the
N8201A performance downconverter is rebooted, the N8201A performance
downconverter may get a different IP address. To set the N8201A performance
downconverter to a static IP address, rather than allowing the DHCP server to select an
auto IP address:

Assign a N8201A performance downconverter instrument IP address that will work with
your computer.

configurations:
•
Connect a LAN cable from the LAN connector on your PC to an empty connector on
your internal local area network or LAN hub. Connect a LAN cable from the LAN
connector on the rear panel of the N8201A performance downconverter to an empty
connector on your internal local area network or LAN hub.

For a company wide network, your system administrator will have to assign an IP address
that is compatible with your PC. If you have a private LAN network or a direct connection
from your PC to the instrument, you can assign the IP address. Refer to
