Using LAN
Using LAN
The signal generator can be remotely programmed through a 100Base–T LAN
interface or 10Base–T LAN interface and LAN–connected computer using one
of several LAN interface protocols. The LAN allows instruments to be
connected together and controlled by a LAN–based computer. LAN and its
associated interface operations are defined in the IEEE 802.2 standard. For
more information refer to http://www.ieee.org.
The signal generator supports the following LAN interface protocols:
— VXI–11 (See page 50)
—Sockets LAN (See page 51)
— Telephone Network (TELNET) (See page 52)
— File Transfer Protocol (FTP) (See page 56)
—LXI
VXI–11 and sockets LAN are used for general programming using the LAN
interface, TELNET is used for interactive, one command at a time instrument
control, and FTP is for file transfer. LXI is used to communicate with multiple
instruments through LAN events using precision time protocols.
For more information on the LXI standards, refer to www.keysight.com/find/lxi.
The following sections contain information on selecting and connecting IO
libraries and LAN interface hardware that are required to remotely program the
signal generator through LAN to a LAN–based computer and combining those
choices with one of several possible LAN interface protocols.

— “Verifying LAN Functionality” on page 46
For more information on configuring your signal generator for LAN, refer to
the User’s Guide for your signal generator. You can also refer to
www.keysight.com and search on the FAQs: Hardware Configurations and
Installation.
For more information on configuring the signal generator to communicate
over the LAN, refer to “Using VXI–11” on page 50.
