Figure 9 Typical Site LAN Network Connections.
On site networks, the Agilent N7744/5A and the computer are
connected directly to site LAN ports, or are connected to the
site LAN through a switch. In each site network configuration,
standard LAN cables are used.
The LAN LED As the LAN connection is made, the DHCP server
assigns an address and the LXI device identification proceeds
you will see the following indicators:,
There may be a delay between making the LAN link (yellow
status) and getting the IP address (green status).
This delay may be longer if there is no DHCP server, for example
when the Agilent N7744/5A is connected directly to a PC.
GPIB Interface
You can connect your GPIB interface into a star network, a
linear network, or a combination star and linear network. The
limitations imposed on this network are as follows:
• The total cable length cannot exceed 20 meters
• The maximum cable length between devices is 4 meters, with
an average separation of 2m between devices over the whole
bus.
• No more than 15 devices may be interconnected on one bus.
