User's Manual
3-2 DMM6500-900-01 Rev. B / August 2019
The GPIB, RS-232, and TSP-Link interfaces require an optional communications accessory card to
be installed in the instrument. Accessory cards include the KTTI-GPIB, KTTI-TSP, and KTTI-RS232.
For details about TSP-Link, see “TSP-Link System Expansion Interface” in the Model DMM6500
Reference Manual.
The rear-panel connections for the remote communication interfaces are shown in the following
figure.

LAN communications
You can communicate with the instrument using a local area network (LAN).
When you connect using a LAN, you can use a web browser to access the internal web page of the
instrument and change some of the instrument settings. For more information, see
Using the web
interface (on page 3-18).
The DMM6500 is a version 1.5 LXI Device Specification 2016 instrument that supports TCP/IP and
complies with IEEE Std 802.3 (ethernet LAN). There is one LAN port on the rear panel of the
instrument that supports full connectivity on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network. The DMM6500
automatically detects the speed.
The DMM6500 also supports Multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD), which
are useful on a LAN with no central administration.
Contact your network administrator to confirm your specific network requirements before setting up a
LAN connection.
If you have problems setting up the LAN, refer to LAN troubleshooting suggestions (on page 3-18
).
