Getting Started
Using LAN
6. Press the Proceed With Reconfiguration softkey and then the Confirm Change (Instrument will Reboot) softkey.
This configures the signal generator as a DHCP client. In DHCP mode, the signal generator requests a
new IP address from the DHCP server upon rebooting. You can return to the LAN Setup menu after
rebooting to determine the assigned IP address.
7. Connect the signal generator to the LAN using a 10BASE-T LAN cable.
3. Verifying LAN Functionality
Verify the communications link between the computer and the signal generator remote file server using the
ping utility. Compare your ping response to those described in Table 1-5.
From a UNIX
®
workstation, type:
ping <hostname or IP address> 64 10
where <hostname or IP address> is your instrument’s name or IP address, 64 is the packet size, and
10 is the number of packets transmitted. Type man ping at the UNIX prompt for details on the ping
command.
From the MS-DOS
®
Command Prompt or Windows environment, type:
ping -n 10 <hostname or IP address>
where <hostname or IP address> is your instrument’s name or IP address and 10 is the number of
echo requests. Type ping at the command prompt for details on the ping command.
NOTE In DHCP mode, if the DHCP server uses dynamic DNS to link the hostname with the
assigned IP address, the hostname may be used in place of the IP address. Otherwise, the
hostname is not usable and you must use the IP address to communicate with the signal
generator over the LAN.
