instruments to a single computer using a hub
Required items
Model 9642 LAN cable (option)
or
A 100BASE-TX-compatible straight cable (up to
100 m, commercially available).

Since this instrument is equipped with the function to automatically differentiate between the straight and cross
cable, a straight cable may also be used for communication. If you are unable to establish communications
with the computer due to a problem such as compatibility, try a cross conversion cable (Model 9642
accessory).
Verifying the Transmission and Reception
The RX/TX LED blinks during the transmission or reception of
data. The LINK LED lights up, when the communication with the
connected device is possible.
