40 Agilent N8211A/N8212A Performance Upconverter Synthetic Instrument Module, 250 kHz to 20 / 40 GHz
2 Using the LAN Interface
• DHCP is set to on
• Auto IP is set to on
• The instrument hostname is set to A-N82XXA-NNNNN, where N82XXA is the
instrument model number (such as N8211A) and NNNNN represents the last five digits
of the instrument serial number.
If the instrument is in an environment with a DHCP server, it is assigned an IP address
through DHCP. The IP address can be found by using the instrument hostname as the URL
in a web browser.
Without DHCP, the instrument will use Auto IP and acquire a 169.254.X.X address. If no
DHCP is present, but the instrument is set to use DHCP (the default), the instrument will
wait two minutes for its DHCP request to time out. In this case, there is a time delay of
approximately three minutes between when the instrument is powered on and when it is
usable.
NOTE
If DHCP and Auto IP are set to off, the IP address will be set to 192.168.EE.FF, where EE and
FF are the last two parts of the MAC address (AA.BB.CC.DD.EE.FF). This is designed to
prevent multiple instruments from using the same default IP address (refer to the
instrument label).
If you had manually configured LAN settings before, you may have to reconfigure your
instrument to reset DHCP and Auto IP to OFF. Refer to “How to Set a Static IP Address" on
page 41.
