30 Sequoia Series
connecting the instrument directly to the PC LAN port you will need a special cable called a cross
connect cable. Once connected you must establish an IP address for the instrument. An IP address
consists of four groups of numbers separated by a decimal. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) is typically the easiest way to configure the instrument for LAN communication. DHCP
automatically assigns a dynamic IP address to a device on a network. You will need to enter the IP
address on the Interface screen of the GUI to control the power source.
The GUI has a built-in utility that lets you determine the IP address assigned by the network DHCP
server. To use the LAN option, CI Virtual Panels GUI V1.1.5 or higher is required. The latest CI Virtual
Panels GUI can be downloaded from the California Instrument web site.

If the IP Address of the Sequoia unit is known the IP Address can be entered manually in the IP
Address Box in the Device Interface screen. Another option if IP address is not known use the “Search
Lxi Inst.” button on the Device Interface screen to bring up the IP address for the attached Sequoia
unit. Highlight your device and click “Connect” button to connect to Sequoia unit.
