Connecting Instruments to LAN 5

Corporate Intranet
Figure 26 Private subnet different from PC
In order for the PC to access the instruments, the network infrastructure
must make them visible. This suggests that the instruments are placed
on the corporate intranet with a hub or switch and not a router. While
this is a good model for a large, distributed organization, any computers
on the corporate intranet can access the test system. Use locking to
prevent test disruption. Latency and throughput are compromised
because the system must share the network with all other traffic
Agilent Connection Expert may not be able to auto-discover all of the
instruments. You may need to manually enter the IP address or
hostname of each instrument you want to configure.
