Communicating over the LAN
The Agilent IO Libraries Suite along with instrument drivers for
specific programming environments can be used to communicate
with your power system. You can also communicate with your power
system using its built-in Web server, the Telnet utility, or sockets.
These latter methods are a convenient way to communicate with the
power system without using I/O libraries or drivers.
Using the Web Server
Your power system has a built-in Web server that lets you control it
directly from an internet browser on your computer. With the Web
server, you can access the front panel control functions including the
LAN configuration parameters.
NOTE
The built-in Web server only operates over the LAN interface. It requires Internet
Explorer 5+ or Netscape 6.2+. You also need the Java (Sun) plug-in. This is
included in the Java Runtime Environment. Refer to Sun Microsystem’s website.
The Web server is enabled when shipped. To launch the Web server:
1 Open the internet browser on your computer.
2 In the Tools menu, under Internet Options, select Connections,
then LAN Settings, and make sure that the Bypass proxy server
for local addresses box is checked.
3 Enter the instrument’s hostname or IP address into the browser’s
Address field to launch the Web server. The following home page
will appear:
