To use the Keysight 81150A / 81160A on the network, you must first
establish an IP setup, including an IP address, and possibly a subnet mask
and gateway address. Press the IP Setup softkey. By default, DHCP/Auto-IP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is set to On.
With DHCP/Auto-
IP On, IP address
will automatically
be set
With DHCP/Auto-IP On, an IP address will automatically be set by
DHCP/Auto-IP when you connect the Keysight 81150A / 81160A to the
network, provided the DHCP server is found and is able to do so. DHCP also
automatically deals with the subnet mask and gateway address, if required.
This is typically the easiest way to establish LAN communication for your
instrument. All you need to do is leave DHCP/Auto-IP On.
However, if you cannot establish communication by means of DHCP/Auto-
IP, you will need to manually set an IP address, and a subnet mask and
gateway address if they are in use.
To establish an IP setup, follow these steps:
Press the softkey to select DHCP/Auto-IP Off. The manual selection
softkeys appear and the current IP address is displayed.
Contact your network administrator for the IP address to use. All IP
addresses take the form "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn" where each "nnn" is a byte
value in the range 000 through 255. You can enter a new IP address using
the numeric keypad (not the knob). Just type in the numbers and the period
delimiters using the keypad. Use the left cursor key as a backspace key.
