2. Setting Up the LAN Interface
For LAN operation, an IP address must be assigned to the signal generator and the signal
generator connected to the LAN. Your system administrator can issue a hostname, IP address,
default gateway, and subnet mask for the signal generator.
1. Press
Utility > GPIB/RS-232 LAN > LAN Setup.
2. Press
Hostname.
3. Use the labeled text softkeys and/or numeric keypad to enter the desired hostname.
To erase the current hostname, press
Editing Keys > Clear Text.
4. Press
Enter.
5. Press
IP Address and enter a desired address.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor. Use the up and down arrow keys,
front panel knob, or numeric keypad to enter an IP address. To erase the current IP
address, press the
Clear Text softkey.
NOTE To remotely access the signal generator from a different LAN subnet, you must
also enter the subnet mask and default gateway. See your system administrator
to obtain the appropriate values.
6. Press the
Proceed With Reconfiguration softkey and then the Confirm Change (Instrument will
Reboot)
softkey.
This action assigns a hostname and IP address (as well as a gateway and subnet mask, if
these have been configured) to the signal generator. The hostname, IP address, gateway
and subnet mask are not affected by an instrument preset or by a power cycle.
7. Connect the signal generator to the LAN using a 10BASE-T LAN cable.
