Instrumentation connection to enterprise routers or servers
This connection uses an existing network infrastructure to connect instruments to the computer
controller. In this case, you must get the network resources from the network administrator.
Usually, the instruments are kept inside the corporate firewall, but the network administrator can
assign resources that allow them to be outside the firewall. This allows instruments to be connected
to the Internet using appropriate security methods. Data collection and distribution can be controlled
from virtually any location.

Set up LAN communications on the instrument
This section describes how to set up manual or automatic LAN communications on the instrument.
Check communication settings
Before setting up the LAN configuration, you can check the communications settings on the
instrument without making any changes.
To check communications settings on the instrument:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Communication. The SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS window opens.
3. Select one of the four tabs (GPIB, USB, LAN, or TSP-Link) to see the settings for that interface.
4. Press the EXIT key to leave the SYSTEM COMMUNICATIONS window without making any
changes.
If you are using a Model 2461 with no front panel, you can check the settings with the SCPI
command :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:CONFigure (on page 6-145) or the TSP command
lan.ipconfig() (on page 8-81).
