2. Set the network parameters of the computer. Since the signal generator does not support automatic IP address acquisition, you need to specify the IP yourself.
   Here we set the IP address to 192.168.1.71.

3. Set the network parameters of the host computer. Run Waveform Editor software on the computer. In the “Communications” menu, under “Ports-Settings”, select the communication port as “LAN”, the IP is set to be the same as the first three fields of the computer’s network IP in step (2), and the last field has a different IP address. It is “192.168.1.99”; the port can be set to any value from 0 to 4000. However, since ports below 2000 are often occupied, it is recommended to set it to 2000 or higher. Here, it is set to “3000”.

4. Set the network parameters of the signal generator. In the signal generator, press Utility → I/O Setup → Network setting to enter the submenu. Set the IP address and port to the IP and port in the PC software port settings in step (3).
   After the shutdown and restart, if the data can be obtained normally in the PC software, the connection is successful.

Connect through a Router

1. Connection. Connect the LAN interface on the rear panel of the signal generator to the router with a network cable. The computer is also connected to the router.

2. Set the network parameters of the computer. Since the signal generator does not support automatic IP address acquisition, you need to specify the IP yourself.
   The default gateway and subnet mask settings must match the settings of the router. For example, the IP address is set to 192.168.1.71, the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway is set to 192.168.1.1.

3. Set the network parameters of the host computer. Run Waveform Editor software on the computer. In the “Communications” menu, under “Ports-Settings”, select the communication port as “LAN”, the IP is set to be the same as the first three fields of the computer’s network IP in step (2), and the last field has a different IP address. It is “192.168.1.99”; the port can be set to any value from 0 to 4000. However, since ports below 2000 are often occupied, it is recommended to set it to 2000 or higher. Here, it is set to “3000”.

4. Set the network parameters of the signal generator. In the signal generator, press Utility → I/O Setup → Network setting to enter the submenu. Set the IP address and port to the IP and port in the PC software port settings in step (3).
   The gateway settings need to be the same as the gateway settings of the router.
   After the shutdown and restart, if the data can be obtained normally in the PC software, the connection is successful.
