d.Accept the default directory c:\netmanag. Click Continue.

e.Acknowledge the Setup is Complete! message by clicking OK.

3.Select Interface Add. Accept the Ethernet defaults. Click OK.

If you are already using Novell NetWare Client software, Banyan Vines, Windows for Workgroups (with networking enabled) or another package that already has installed an ODI or NDIS driver, the following Hardware Selection dialog box will not appear and the existing driver is used. Newt modifies the protocol.ini (NDIS driver) or net.cfg (ODI driver) file associated with the installed driver.

4.Select Setup Hardware. Select the desired Ethernet adapter hardware type. If your hardware device is not shown, select Other and enter the Section Name, Driver name, and the Driver File name and location in the appropriate fields (Entries in this box are case-sensitive.) Refer to the Newt Manual for more information.

5.Select Setup IP address. Enter the IP address assigned by your network administrator for this host computer and click OK.

6.Select Setup Subnet Mask. Accept the default of zero additional mask bits unless your system administrator says otherwise. A subnet mask other than the default for your IP address is required if routers are used on your network to divide the net into “subnets.

Fluke 2640A, 2645A user manual Network Considerations

2645A, 2640A specifications

The Fluke 2640A and 2645A are advanced bench multimeters that represent a significant leap in measurement technology, designed primarily for electrical engineers and technicians who require precision and reliability in their readings. These multimeters are built to cater to complex applications in manufacturing, research, and development.

One of the standout features of the Fluke 2640A and 2645A is their high accuracy. With specifications that can reach up to 0.0035% DC Voltage accuracy, users can trust that their measurements will be consistent and precise. This is especially critical in fields like automated test equipment (ATE) where exact measurements can be crucial for product quality and safety.

Both models incorporate a large, easy-to-read display, making it convenient for users to view measurement results clearly from a distance. They also feature a wide measurement range, capable of handling a variety of tasks, from basic voltage and current measurements to more complex tasks such as resistance and temperature measurements with appropriate sensors.

The multimeters also stand out with their advanced data logging capabilities. The Fluke 2645A, for instance, can store up to 10,000 readings, allowing for extensive data collection and analysis without the need for constant monitoring. This is beneficial for long-term studies or processes that require continual oversight.

Connectivity is another key characteristic. Both the 2640A and 2645A support USB and RS-232 interfaces, which enable easy integration with computers and other devices for seamless data transfer. This feature is important for engineers who rely on software for data analysis and visualization.

Another notable technology included in these models is the Fluke Connect app compatibility, which allows users to remotely monitor measurements from their smartphones or tablets. This capability provides added flexibility, enabling technicians to work hands-free while still keeping an eye on process measurements.

Additionally, the Fluke 2645A comes with a graphical display option, allowing users to visualize measurement trends over time. This graphical representation can be invaluable for diagnosing issues or observing patterns in data.

In conclusion, the Fluke 2640A and 2645A multimeters offer exceptional performance with their high accuracy, extensive data logging, connectivity options, and advanced visualization capabilities. These features make them indispensable tools for professionals in a variety of fields, ensuring that they can achieve reliable results in their measurement endeavors.
