The Agilent IO Libraries Suite along with instrument drivers for
specific programming environments can be used to communicate
with your power supply. Your can also communicate with your power
supply using its built-in Web server, the Telnet utility, or sockets.
These latter methods are a convenient way to communicate with the
power supply without using I/O libraries or drivers.
Using the Web Server
Your power supply has a built-in Web server that lets you control it
directly from an internet browser on your computer. With the Web
server, you can control and configure all of the front panel functions
as well as additional functions such as triggering and the LAN
parameters, which are not available from the front panel.
NOTE
The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires Internet

included in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Sun Microsystem’s website.
The Web server is enabled when shipped. To launch the Web server:
1 Open the internet browser on your computer.
2 In the Tools menu, under Internet Options, select Connections,
then LAN Settings, and make sure that the Bypass proxy server
for local addresses box is checked.
3 Enter the instrument’s hostname into the browser’s Address field
to launch the Web server. The following home page will appear:
