Overview
The Keithley Instruments Model 2651A High Power System SourceMeter
®
Instrument is class C LXI
version 1.2 compliant. The Model 2651A is a scalable test system that can connect directly to a host
PC or interact with a DHCP or DNS server and other LXI-compliant instruments on a local area
network (LAN).
The Model 2651A is compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3 and supports full connectivity on a 10 Mbps or
100 Mpbs network. The LAN interface is an alternative solution to GPIB that can be used to build test
systems with a large degree of flexibility, including web accessibility.
NOTE
Please read this entire section before you connect the Model 2651A to the LAN.
Establishing a point-to-point connection
A one-to-one LAN connection to set up a static IP address between the host computer and the
instrument enables the use of the instrument's internal web page and TSP
®
Express.
Use the following instructions to configure the instrument's IP address. The instrument's IP address is
based on the present IP address of the host computer. Each device on the LAN (corporate or private)
requires a unique IP address.
CAUTION
Contact your corporate information technology (IT) department for permission before you connect the
Model 2651A to a corporate network.
