LAN communications
The Series 2600B is an LXI version 1.4 Core 2011 compliant instrument that supports TCP/IP and
complies with IEEE Std 802.3 (ethernet). There is one LAN port (located on the rear panel of the
instrument) that supports full connectivity on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network.
For detailed information about setting up your LAN interface, refer to LAN concepts and settings
(on
