Remote Interface Configuration 3
Configuring the LAN Interface
By default, LAN connectivity with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is
enabled on the 34410A/11A. In many cases you can simply let DHCP assign the
necessary parameters for a LAN connection. However, you can also turn off DHCP and
set parameters manually.
LAN Parameters You may choose to manually set the following parameters, as
described in the subsections that follow. Following these descriptions are procedures for
setting up a LAN configuration from the front panel and the remote interface.
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• DNS Server
• Host Name
• LAN Services (Visa LAN, Sockets, Telnet, Keysight Web Server)
• Web Password
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server parameters use
“dot-notation” addresses. Dot–notation addresses (“nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn” where “nnn” is a
byte value) must be expressed with care:
Most computers will interpret byte values with leading zeros as octal numbers. For
example, “255.255.020.011” is actually equivalent to decimal “255.255.16.9” not
“255.255.20.11” because the computer will interpret “.020” as “16” expressed in octal,
and “.011” as “9”.
However, the multimeter assumes that all dot–notation addresses are expressed as
decimal byte values and strips all leading zeros from these byte values. Thus, attempting
to set an IP address
of “255.255.020.011” will become “255.255.20.11” (a purely
decimal expression). Be sure to enter the exact expression, “255.255.20.11”, in your
computer web software to address the instrument. To avoid confusion, use only decimal
expressions of byte values (0 to 255), with no leading zeros.
