Part 1: Making the Remote Connection
Connecting via ENET
Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes employ a standard Ethernet interface for utilizing the TCP/IP transport
layer.
Hardware
For purposes of remote control, you may either:
l Connect the oscilloscope to a LAN port or hub using a straight Ethernet (ENET) cable
l Connect the oscilloscope directly to the controller using a crossover cable or a straight cable
capable of directional switching (most modern, standard ENET cables do this).
Tip: If you are concerned mainly with system throughput, a LAN connection is not recommended
as network traffic may slow down oscilloscope data transfer rates. Use a direct connection, or
consider using LSIB if your oscilloscope supports it.
IPAddress
The oscilloscope is preset to accept DHCP addressing. Be sure the controller and the oscilloscope are on
the same subnet.
The oscilloscope is delivered with a default IP address, which is pulled from our network prior to shipment.
You can find this address by navigating to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote. Keep in mind this address will
likely change as soon as the instrument is connected to your network.
You may also address the oscilloscope using the hostname. The default hostname is the serial number
printed on the back of the instrument and on the registration card. If your network is served by a DNS
server, the hostname must be the instrument name that is recognizable to the name server. For direct
(coaxial or straight ENET) connections, it may be easiest to make the initial connection using the
hostname.
You may optionally assign a static IP address to the oscilloscope using the standard Windows networking
dialogs .
Tip: To access the Windows control panel, choose File > Minimize or go to Utilities > Utilities Setup
> Remote and select Net Connections.
Protocol Selection
There are two protocol options for remote control via ENET:
l VICP, for which you select the TCP/IP remote control setting
l VXI-11, for which you select the LXI remote control setting
