Keysight 34980A Getting Started Guide 47
– An Isolated LAN network is defined as a local area network (LAN) in which
computers and LAN-enabled instruments are not connected to a site LAN. Use
the crossover cable provided with the 34980A to make a direct connection
between the 34980A and your computer. Crossover cables are also supported
by many newer LAN switches or routers.
The diagrams above show examples of typical site LAN and isolated LAN networks.
Select the LAN network type that you will use to connect the 34980A to your
computer. Then follow the corresponding procedures shown on page 48 or
page 50.
