8 Agilent N5161A/62A/81A/82A/83A MXG Signal Generators Installation Guide

Getting Started

Configuring the MXG ATE

Accessing the MXG (ATE) Web-Enabled Page

Access the instrument’s Web- Enabled page by entering its hostname or IP address into the address

field of an internet browser. Refer to Figure 2- 1 on page 9 and to the Programming Guide.

NOTE The following example for accessing the MXG ATE instrument’s Web- Enabled uses the

instrument’s predetermined default hostname that the MXG ATE ships with (e.g.

a- <instrument model number>- <last 5 digits of the instrument serial number>). The

instrument’s IP address will also work.

The procedure that follows assumes the signal generator is running firmware A.01.20 or

later.

MXG Web- Enabled SCPI command capability is not available for versions of Internet

Explorer

≥7.0. (The SCPI Telnet softkey is inactive for these versions.) To use the Telnet

SCPI, refer to Figure 2- 1 on page 9.

For MXG ATEs, press the front panel LAN Preset key and wait for the front panel green

LAN indicator light to stop blinking. It is possible the hostname may have been changed

from its default value. The MXG ATE hostname is not changed by pressing the LAN Reset

key. For information on using the MXG's USB port to query its IP address, refer to the

Agilent Connectivity Guide (E2094- 90009) or to the LAN Connectivity FAQs for details on

using the instrument over LAN.

For more information on LAN Connectivity, refer to the Agilent Connectivity Guide

(E2094- 90009), or the signal generator’s Programming Guide, or to the LAN Connectivity

FAQs for details on using the instrument over LAN.

1. Open an internet browser.

2. Enter the MXG ATE’s hostname (or IP address) as the URL in the browser:

a- <instrument model number>- <last 5 digits of the instrument serial number>

3. Click Signal Generator Web Control from the menu on the left side of the web page to access

the front panel Web- Enabled MXG.

The Web- Enabled MXG ATE web page is titled: “Web- Enabled MXG”, since the MXG ATE is part of the MXG

signal generator family.
