5 Connecting Instruments to LAN
5 Run the Microsoft Telnet Client. (On Windows XP, click Start >
Run and type
telnet
6 At the Telnet command line, type:
open XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX PPPP
where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the instrument’s IP address and
PPPP is the port (5024 for most Agilent products). You should see a
response from the instrument, such as:
Welcome to Agilent’s 33220A Waveform Generator
7 Enter commands for the product. CTRL-C is typically a device clear;
check your instrument documentation for other commands.
8 Close the Telnet window to close the connection to the instrument
and exit Telnet.
Add a LAN interface
One LAN interface labeled LAN (TCPIP0) appears in the Explorer Pane
by default. If there is not a LAN interface available, or you wish to
connect instruments via LAN with different connection parameters
(such as different connect time-outs), then take the following steps:
1 Click Add Interface on the Connection Expert toolbar to create an
additional LAN interface.
2 When the Manually Add an Interface box appears with LAN
interface highlighted, click Add.
3 When the LAN Interface configuration box appears, modify the
properties as desired, then click OK.
NOTE
The required Auto-discover setting for LAN interfaces is off. To
prevent disrupting network traffic, Connection Expert does not
automatically query each bus on the LAN to detect new devices.
