Preparing for Use
Connecting to a LAN Server
Connecting to a LAN Server
Connect a cable to the standard LAN connector on the rear panel of the
instrument. The LAN can then be used several different ways:
• To ftp files from the instrument
• To use telnet to send SCPI commands
• To use sockets to send SCPI commands
• To use as a SICL server emulating IEEE 488.2 GPIB
Several LAN parameters can be queried from the front panel key
menus by pressing
System, Config I/O and then pressing the appropriate
keys. Configuration of some LAN parameters can only be done from the
front panel. The IP address can be set/queried remotely using
SYST:COMM:LAN:IP. The LAN default configuration settings do not
usually have to be changed for you to use the functionality. More
detailed LAN use and troubleshooting information can be found in
Chapter 2 , “Programming Fundamentals.”
The different types of LAN functionality can be turned on and off from
the front panel keys under
System, Config I/O. If you are running
programs on the analyzer, you might want to turn off the other types of
LAN access to make sure other users don’t accidentally send commands
to your analyzer in the middle of the program execution.
Pressing
Preset will not change the LAN configuration settings. Since
they are persistent they will stay at the last user-defined setting.
However, you can return the instrument to its original factory defaults
by pressing
System, Restore Sys Defaults. If you want to use the LAN
after restoring defaults, you will have to re-set the instrument IP
address (and any other appropriate configuration settings) found in
System, Config I/O.
