GPIB Interface Configuration
1. Press Utility > GPIB/RS-232 LAN > GPIB Address.
2. Use the numeric keypad to set the desired address and press
Enter.
The arrow keys or the front panel knob can be used to set the desired address.
The signal generator’s GPIB address is set to 19 at the factory. The acceptable range of addresses is 0
through 30. The GPIB address is a persistent state; it is not affected by a signal generator preset or by a
power cycle.
LAN Interface Configuration
Use one of the following procedures to assign a hostname and IP address to the signal generator. The
hostname and IP address are persistent states; they are not affected by an instrument preset or a power cycle.
Manual Configuration
1. Press
Utility > GPIB/RS-232 LAN > LAN Setup > Hostname.
2. Use the labeled text softkeys and/or numeric keypad to enter the desired hostname. To erase the current
hostname, press
Editing Keys > Clear Text.
3. Press
Enter, then set LAN Config Manual DHCP to Manual.
4. Press
IP Address and enter a desired address. Use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor. Use the
up and down arrow keys, front panel knob, or numeric keypad to enter an IP address. To erase the current
IP address, press the
Clear Text softkey.
NOTE To remotely access the signal generator from a different LAN subnet, you must also enter
the subnet mask and default gateway. See your system administrator to obtain the
appropriate values.
5. Press the
Proceed With Reconfiguration softkey and then the Confirm Change (Instrument will Reboot) softkey.
This action assigns a hostname and IP address (as well as a gateway and subnet mask, if these have been
configured) to the signal generator. The hostname, IP address, gateway and subnet mask are not affected
by an instrument preset or by a power cycle.
6. Connect the signal generator to the LAN using a 10BASE-T LAN cable.
