LAN Interface Configuration

TCP/IP Parameter Configuration

To operate properly in a network environment, the LAN Interface must be

configured with valid TCP/IP network parameters. These parameters are:

• IP address

• Subnet Mask

• Default Gateway

The TCP/IP parameters can be configured by the following methods:

• by automatically requesting the parameters from a network-based BOOTP

Server (using the so-called Bootstrap Protocol)

• by manually setting the parameters using Telnet

• by manually setting the parameters using the Agilent Instant Pilot

(G4208A)

• by manually setting the parameters using the Handheld Controller

(G1323A/B)

The LAN Interface differentiates between several initialization modes. The

initialization mode (short form ‘init mode’) defines how to determine the

active TCP/IP parameters after power-on. The parameters may be derived

from a Bootp cycle, non-volatile memory or initialized with known default

values. The initialization mode is selected by the configuration switch, see

Figure 10 on page 21.
