change the IP address of the 980/980B. The 980/980B is provisioned with a default IP address (192.168.1.10). The 

procedures for changing the IP address of the 980/980B are provided in the next subsection. 

If you are connecting through your corporate LAN, the PC hosting the Test Automation System will typically have 
an IP address assigned to it through DHCP services. You can either assign an IP address to the 980/980B directly 
or allow the network DHCP server to assign an IP address to the 980/980B. The procedures for changing the IP 
address of the 980/980B are provided in this subsection. These procedures also describe how to enable the 
980/980B DHCP client to allow the network to assign an IP address. 

2.2.1

 

Making the physical Ethernet connections 

This subsection describes how to connect the 980/980B to the PC hosting your Test Automation System. This 
procedure assumes that you have assembled the Automated Test System platform, 980/980B and source device 
under test into your work area.   

To make the physical Ethernet connection through your corporate LAN or local Ethernet hub: 

This procedure is used when you are connecting the PC hosting the ATS to the 980/980B through your corporate 
LAN network or local Ethernet hub. This procedure is required to establish an IP session between the PC hosting 
the Automated Test System and the 980/980B. Refer to the procedures and diagrams below. The diagrams show 
the Ethernet connections through a LAN or hub for testing an HDMI source. The first diagram shows the 
connection to the 980 and the second diagram for the 980B.
