With the Host and Port fields of the Ethernet Test Utility set, 
interaction with the power supply through SCPI commands can

SETTING LAN PARAMETERS 
There are three ways to set the required LAN information on the 
power source: through the Ethernet connection, through the serial 
or USB port, or through the Web interface. 
Setting LAN Parameters via Ethernet 
Use the “GetAssignIPAddress.exe” Windows utility program that 
is distributed on the CD ROM with every power source. This 
utility uses the network connection to set parameters on the power 
source; therefore, the power source and the PC will have to be 
connected to the same network through a hub or to each other using 
a crossover network cable (local network). 
Setting LAN Parameters via Serial or USB Port 
Set the parameters using SCPI commands; refer to Chapter 5 of the 
User’s Manual for Remote Operation.
