Configuring and Starting NetScan      1-9

There are four basic network scenarios that pertain to NetScan ethernet operation.  Note that proper TCP/IP
configuration is extremely important, and you must obtain TCP/IP addressing parameters before
configuring the protocol.  The rules for configuration differ for each scenario as follows:

In the Point-to-Point scenario, NetScan is connected directly to a PC using a crossover cable.  Since there is
no actual network the only requirements are:
1)

 

The first three numbers of NetScan’s IP address must match the first three numbers of the computer’s
IP address.

2)

 

The sub-net mask should be set to 255.255.255.0

3)

 

The gateway address can be omitted.

Example
TPC/IP address set to 192.88.247.1
Sub-net mask set to 255.255.255.0

In this simple LAN scenario, NetScan is connected to a network with several PC’s using the TCP/IP
protocol.  These networks typically use a system administrator or network analyst to address TCP/IP issues.

For private LAN setups, requirements are:
1)

 

A unique IP address must be assigned to the NetScan device

2)

 

The first three numbers of the IP address must be the same for all devices on the network

3)

 

The sub-net mask should be set to 255.255.255.0

4)

 

The gateway address can be omitted

Example
TPC/IP address set to 192.88.247.1 for NetScan device
First three numbers of all network devices are 192.88.247
Sub-net mask is set to 255.255.255.0
