N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide 7
For information on setting the GPIB address manually from the front
panel, refer to the P- Series Power Meters Installation Guide.
• To set the GPIB address from the remote interface use the:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess command.
• To query the GPIB address from the remote interface use the:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess? query.
LAN Configuration
The power meter has three LAN operating modes:
• Dynamic IP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP)
• Auto IP (Local PC Control or isolated (non- site) LAN)
•Static IP (Manual mode)
These three modes can be set up from the front panel. For front panel
operation refer to the P- Series Power Meter Installation Guide.
Configuring the LAN Remotely
To automatically configure the LAN settings, enable DHCP operation using
the SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP[:STATe] command.
In this Dynamic IP mode the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway values are obtained from a DHCP server. Using this Dynamic IP
mode does not require a detailed knowledge of your network
configuration.
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and Host settings can be
changed manually or remotely. To individually specify the LAN settings,
use the following commands:
• IP Address - SYSTem:COMMuniucate:LAN:ADDRess
• Subnet Mask - SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:SMASk
• Default Gateway - SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DGATeway
• Domain Name - SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DNAMe
