I tried to connect my TDS3012B to computer via the ethernet port, scope and computer all ON, connect the net cable, then at the scope, Utility->System->I/O->Ethernet Setting, push the DHCP/BOOTP side button to set it from OFF to ON, the scope shows 'Requesting IP address' and a small clock, then it stopped there, no reaction to any button, like dead. I have to disconnect the net cable, then power off the scope.
During the scope is 'Requesting IP address', in the computer network, I can see 'A unknown network connection'. When I pull off the net cable from the scope, the 'Unknown network' on the computer disappeared. So the net cable physically should be OK. I used a good quality cable.
When I restart the scope it is stuck after the splash screen, auto restart again and again. Search the net, found the 'Hard boot' trick, 'Hold trigger B when power on the scope', this worked, scope alive again (language changed back to English).
I'm not a network engineer, so what's the right steps to connect this scope with computer via ethernet port? Especially the configure steps on the computer.
Any advice is very appreciated.
