The green background indicates an established connection. In the

window in the upper left corner the serial number and the IP

address are displayed. With several KE Multitesters in the network,

you can find the one you search by the display of the serial number.

Connection problems

If the KE3500 / KE3600 is recognized by the PC but gets no IP

address, you can restart the KE3x00 to fix the problem.

Within the KE Manager there is also the possibility in the

"Configuration" menu using the option "Reset of configuration"

to supply a new IP address. But first make sure that the correct LAN

adapter is selected. Some PCs have multiple network cards.

manufacturer.
