Configure a LAN Interface
When you select a LAN interface in the Explorer Pane, the Properties
Pane displays the current properties for that interface. The properties
that you are most likely to need are displayed at the top of the Properties
Pane. If you see a button labeled More, you may click it to see
additional properties, as shown in the graphic below.

NOTE
Another reason to add a LAN interface is that additional LAN interfaces
are 'exported' so they are visible to NI-VISA with Passport enabled.
This would allow a program to use Agilent's LAN stack on TCPIP1 for
example instead of or in addition to NI's LAN stack on TCPIP0. A
couple of reasons to do this:
1.Agilent's LAN stack understands SICL-LAN protocol - NI's does not.
2.LAN instruments configured on TCPIP1, would show up in a
viFindRsrc/viFindNext scan when configured in ACE without having to
also be configured in MAX.
