Remote Interface Configuration

GPIB Configuration 
Each device on the GPIB (IEEE-488) interface must have a unique address
. 
You can set the function generator’s address to any value between 0 and 
30. The address is set to “10” when the function generator is shipped 
from the factory. The GPIB address is displayed at power-on. 
• The address is stored in non-volatile memory and does not change 
when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
• Your computer’s GPIB interface card has its own address. Be sure 
to avoid using the computer’s address for any instrument on the 
interface bus. 
• Front-Panel Operation: Press and then select the I/O softkey. 
The GPIB Address field appears. Use the knob and cursor keys, or 
the numeric keypad, to change the address.
• Remote Interface Operation:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess <address>
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess?
LAN Configuration 
The following sections describe the primary LAN configuration functions 
that you can set from the 33210A front-panel Utility menu. SCPI 
commands are listed where applicable. In addition, there are some LAN 
configuration functions that can be performed only by using the SCPI 
commands. For a complete listing of the LAN configuration commands, 
refer to Chapter 4, “Interface Configuration Commands” starting on page 
242.
Note: If you change any LAN settings, you must cycle the power to 
activate the new settings. This is true for all LAN settings, including 
turning DHCP and Auto IP on or off.
Resetting the LAN  You can return the LAN settings to the default 
values and restart the LAN at any time with the Reset LAN feature:
• Front panel operation: Press  and press the I/O softkey. Select 
LAN, then Modify Settings, followed by Reset LAN. The message 
“Restarting LAN” is displayed while the LAN is reset.
• There is no SCPI command to reset the LAN.
