"Ping Client" provides the ping utility to verify the connection between the instru-
ment and other devices.
IP Configuration
The "LAN Configuration > IP configuration" web page displays all mandatory LAN
parameters and allows their modification.
The "TCP/IP Mode" configuration field controls how the IP address for the instrument
gets assigned (see also Chapter 13.6.1.2, "How to Assign the IP Address",
on page 798).
For the manual configuration mode, the static IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway are used to configure the LAN. The automatic configuration mode uses DHCP
server or Dynamic Link Local Addressing (Automatic IP) to obtain the instrument IP
address.
Changing the LAN configuration is password-protected. The default password is Lxi-
WebIfc (notice upper and lower case characters).
You can change the LXI password in the "Network + Remote" dialog box, see .Chap-
ter 13.5.4, "LXI Settings", on page 793
Advanced LAN Configuration
The "LAN Configuration > Advanced LAN Configuration" parameters are used as fol-
lows:
●
The "Negotiation" configuration field provides different Ethernet speed and duplex
mode settings. In general, the "Auto Detect" mode is sufficient.
●
"ICMP Ping" must be enabled to use the ping utility.
●
"VXI-11" is the protocol that is used to detect the instrument in the LAN. According
to the standard, LXI devices must use VXI-11 to provide a detection mechanism;
other additional detection mechanisms are permitted.
●
mDNS and DNS-SD are two additional protocols: Multicast DNS and DNS Service
Discovery. They are used for device communication in zero configuration networks
working without DNS and DHCP
Ping Client
Ping is a utility that verifies the connection between the LXI-compliant instrument and
another device. The ping command uses the ICMP echo request and echo reply pack-
ets to determine whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is useful for diagnos-
ing IP network or router failures. The ping utility is not password-protected.
To initiate a ping between the LXI-compliant instrument and a second connected
device:
1. Enable "ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced LAN Configuration" page (enabled after an
LCI).
