Communicating Over the LAN
The Agilent IO Libraries Suite along with instrument drivers for
specific programming environments can be used to communicate
with your power system. You can also communicate with your power
system using its built-in Web server, the Telnet utility, or sockets.
These latter methods are a convenient way to communicate with the
power system without using I/O libraries or drivers. In all cases, you
must first establish a LAN connection from your computer to the
power system as previously discussed.
Using the Web Server
Your power system 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 access the front panel control functions including the
LAN configuration parameters. Up to two simultaneous connections
are allowed. With additional connections, performance will be
reduced.
NOTE
The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires Internet
Explorer 7+ or Firefox2+. 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:
