Connecting to a Site LAN
A site LAN is a local area network in which LAN-enabled instruments and
computers are connected to the network through routers, hubs, and/or
switches. They are typically large, centrally-managed networks with
services such as DHCP and DNS servers.
1 If you have not already done so, install the Keysight IO Libraries
Suite from the Automation-Ready CD that is shipped with your
product.
2 Connect the instrument to the site LAN. The factory-shipped
instrument LAN settings are configured to automatically obtain an IP
address from the network using a DHCP server (DHCP is set On).
Note that this may take up to one minute. The DHCP server will
register the instrument’s hostname with the dynamic DNS server.
The hostname as well as the IP address can then be used to
communicate with the instrument. The front panel
Lan indicator will
come on when the LAN port has been configured.
NOTE
If yo
u need to manually configure any instrument LAN settings, refer to
“Configuring the LAN Parameters” later in this chapter for information
about configuring the LAN settings from the front panel of the
instrument.
3 Use the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite
to add the E4360 SAS and verify a connection. To add the
instrument, you can request the Connection Expert to discover the
instrument. If the instrument cannot be found, add the instrument
using the instrument’s hostname or IP address.
NOTE
If this does not work, refer to the chapter on “Troubleshooting
Guidelines” in the Keysight Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces
Connectivity Guide.
4 You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to
communicate with your instrument, or you can program your
instrument using the various programming environments. You can
also use the Web browser on your computer to communicate with
the instrument as described under “Using the Web Server” later in
this chapter.
