Network Retry, Windows
2000:
Windows 2000 users should
click on “Retry/Reset”. This
command resets the
communication port, and also
resets Windows 2000 to the
proper state to connect using
a dynamic IP address in the
XDS instrument.
3.2.8 Direct Connection Troubleshooting Overview:
If no XDS instrument shows as “available”, the computer may need to be configured for the IP
address range of the XDS instrument. It may be necessary to contact your IT department for
assistance with these issues.
First, verify the following:
• The instrument is free-standing not connected to a network with DHCP server
• There is only one network card in the computer
• A crossover cable is used between the XDS instrument and the computer
If these conditions are met, please proceed.
Direct Connection Solution 1:
If using a crossover cable, verify
that the computer is
communicating in the same IP
range as the XDS instrument.
The XDS instrument default IP
address is 169.254.0.2, as
shown. This address calculator
gives the allowable computer IP
address range as 169.254.0.1
through 169.254.2.254.
DO NOT use 169.254.0.2 in the
computer!
Set the computer IP address to
either:
• 169.254.0.1, or
• 169.254.0.3.
