The LAN setting is initialized when all the settings for communications
have been made. Be sure to complete this LAN setting before you con-
nect the instrument to the network. When you edit the settings while the
instrument is connected to the network, you may accidentally send ille-
gal address information to the network. For example, you may select the
same IP address as that of another instrument on the network.
When you make one-to-one connection between the instrument and a
PC, you must use a cross cable.
The short cable of the straight-cross converter supplied with the 9642
LAN CABLE is a cross cable. The connector is a straight male-female
converter.
The cable might not be connected to the connector properly. Remove
the cable and then connect it again.
