Communicating Over the LAN
Using the Web Server
Your Agilent N6705 DC Power Analyzer has a built-in Web server that
lets you control it directly from an internet browser on your
computer. Up to two simultaneous connections are allowed. With
additional connections, performance will be reduced.
With the Web server, you can access the front panel control functions
including the LAN configuration parameters. This is a convenient
way to communicate with the DC Power Analyzer without using I/O
libraries or drivers.
NOTE
The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires Internet
Explorer 7+ or Firefox 2+. You also need the Java (Sun) Plug-in. This is included
in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Sun Microsystem’s website. If you are
using Internet Explorer 7, open a separate browser window for each connection.
The Web server is enabled when shipped. To launch the Web server:
1 Open the internet browser on your computer.
2 Enter the instrument’s hostname or IP address into the browser’s
Address field to launch the Web server. The following home page
will appear:
3 Click on the Browser Web Control button in the navigation bar
on the left to begin controlling your instrument.
4 For additional help about any page, click Help with this Page.
If desired, you can control access to the Web server using password
protection. As shipped from the factory, no password is set. To set a
password, click on the View & Modify Configuration button. Refer to
the on-line help for additional information about setting a password.
