If you are connecting to a PSA that is already connected through a LAN hub,
you should connect the gateway to the same LAN hub the PSA is connected to
with a normal LAN cable.
Apply power to the gateway. The gateway will search for a DHCP server. If the
gateway is connected to your site LAN and finds a DHCP server, an IP address
will be displayed. If the gateway is connected to the PSA via a cross over cable,
the gateway will default to a LAN address such as 169.254.58.10.
Step 5. Configure the system parameters on the PSA:
1. Press
Mode, select Measuring Receiver.
2. If using a PC with 82357A/B USB/GPIB interface to emulate a LAN/GPIB
gateway:
Start the remote IO server on the PC by pressing
Start and select All Programs,
Agilent IO Library Suite Utilities, Remote I/O Server.
If using a PC with GPIB card to emulate a LAN/GPIB gateway:
Start the remote IO server on the PC by pressing
Start and select All Programs,
Agilent IO Library Suite Utilities, Remote I/O Server.
If using the E5810A gateway with a cross over cable:
On the PSA press
System, Config I/O, IP Address. Set the PSA IP address to one
value greater than the LAN address shown on the Gateway. For example if the
gateway is at address 169.254.58.10, set the PSA IP address to 169.254.58.11.
Press
Subnet Mask and enter the subnet mask. For the IP address above, enter
255.255.0.0
If using the E5810A gateway and PSA connected to a LAN hub:
Since the PSA is already configured on the LAN, the IP address, Subnet Mask
and Gateway Address do not require reconfiguration. Continue at step 3.
3. Press
System, More, More, Power Meter, Power Meter Configuration keys.
4. Press
Conn Mode to select LAN/GPIB Gateway.
5. If using a PC with 82357A/B to emulate a LAN /GPIB Gateway, press the
Gateway IP Address and enter the IP address of the PC. The IP address of the
PC can be discovered by pressing
Start, Run, type the letters cmd in the dialog
box, click
OK. When the window appears, type ipconfig and press Enter.
If using a PC with a GPIB Card to emulate a LAN /GPIB Gateway, press
Gateway IP Address and enter the IP address of the PC. The IP address of the
PC can be discovered by pressing
Start, Run, type the letters cmd in the dialog
box, click
OK. When the window appears, type ipconfig and press Enter.
If using the Agilent E5810 LAN /GPIB Gateway, press the
Gateway IP
Address
and enter the IP address shown on the Gateway display.
