Reviewing and Setting the Network Type

Perform the procedure in below to review or set the network type to isolated. Perform the procedure in Table 4 to review or set the network type to general. An isolated network consists of only 268XA Series and NetDAQ 26X devices and one or more host computers. A general network consists of devices, host computers, and possibly servers, routers, gateways, or other network devices. (See Figure 3 for examples.)

If you use Fluke DAQ software for isolated network operation and set the devices’ network type to isolated, you do not need to know or set IP addresses for your devices.

Table 3. Reviewing and Setting the Network Type

Press the COMM key to review the network type, or press and hold the COMM key for 3 seconds to set the network type.

Press the up/down arrow keys until nEt (Network) appears in the primary

display (comm appears in the secondary display).

Press the ENTER key. nEt appears in the secondary display and ISo (isolated network) or gEn (general network) is in the primary display.

To set the network type to isolated, press the up/down arrow keys to

select ISo (current setting appears bright).

Press the ENTER key to exit. (Pressing any other function key will cancel set operations.)
