Following the steps below, it is possible for the Laptop / Tablet PC used with MIH to have a primary Ethernet configuration (for the office network) and an alternate Ethernet configuration (for use with MIH). By doing so, there should be no need to re-configure network settings each time the Laptop / Tablet is used with MIH. Windows will detect the connected network and switch to the appropriate Ethernet configuration automatically.
No changes will be made to the General (primary) settings. Only an Alternate configuration will be added. This process assumes a static IP network configuration as the alternate network communication method between MIH and the spectrum analyzer. A CAT5 cable will be used to connect the spectrum analyzer to the PC. Note that the spectrum analyzer’s Ethernet configuration type will be set to ‘Manual’ and the IP address, Gateway, and Subnet set per the examples below.
