SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress "<address>"
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:IPADdress? [{CURRent|STATic}]]
Assigns a static Internet Protocol (IP) address for the instrument. If DHCP is enabled
(SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP ON), the specified static IP address is not used. Contact your LAN administrator for
details.
If you change this setting, you must send SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:UPDate to activate the new
setting.
Parameter Typical Return
Command: "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn"
Query: {CURRent|STATic}, default CURRent
Default:
169.254.4.60 (34460A) or 169.254.4.61 (34461A)
"169.254.149.35"
Set a static IP address:
SYST:COMM:LAN:IPAD "169.254.149.35"
SYST:COMM:LAN:UPD
l SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate sets this parameter to its default value.
l On the 34460A, this requires option 34460A-LAN or option 3446LANU.
l For the query form, specify "CURRent" (default) to read the value currently being used by the instrument. Specify
"STATic" to read the value currently stored in nonvolatile memory within the instrument (may not be the actual
address used by the instrument if DHCP is enabled).
l This setting is non-volatile; it is not changed by power cycling, a Factory Reset (*RST), or an Instrument Preset
(SYSTem:PRESet).
l This parameter is set to its default value when the instrument is shipped from the factory and after
SYSTem:SECurity:IMMediate.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:MAC?
Returns the instrument's Media Access Control (MAC) address as an ASCII string of 12 hexadecimal characters (0-9
and A-F) enclosed in quotation marks.
Your LAN administrator may need the MAC address to assign a static IP address for this device.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) "0030D3001041"
Return the MAC address:
SYST:COMM:LAN:MAC?
l On the 34460A, this requires option 34460A-LAN or option 3446LANU.
l The MAC address is also known as the link-layer address, the Ethernet (station) address, LANIC ID or Hardware
Address. This is an unchangeable 48-bit address assigned by the manufacturer to each unique Internet device.
