5 Connecting Instruments to LAN
Private Instrument Subnet
This configuration creates a private LAN subnet for the instrument
system. If the PC and instruments are on the same side of the router,
then router runs a DHCP server and assigns address IP addresses to each
device, including the computer. Agilent Connection Expert easily finds
all of the instruments in this system. This topology is recommended for
deployed manufacturing systems. Devices separated by a hub or switch
are not on a private subnet. Other non-LAN instruments (GP-IB, USB,
etc.) can connect to the PC.
Optionally, there may be a second NIC in the computer or there may be
an intranet connection through the router (see the next example).
