LXI compliance
Analyzers running under Windows XP (SP 2 or higher) comply with LXI class C, which
enables remote access to an instrument's LAN settings; see "LXI Configuration" in your
analyzer's help system.
1.7.3 Test Setups with two LAN Connections
The two LAN connectors on the rear panel of the analyzer are equivalent. With one
LAN connector used to establish a connection to a home/company network, the other
one can be used to connect an additional instrument, e.g. an additional analyzer or sig-
nal generator.
Defining the network topology: Router vs. network client
With two LAN connections, it is possible to use the analyzer in two alternative ways:
●
As a client participating in two independent networks, one comprising the home
network including the analyzer, the second consisting of the additional test instru-
ment plus the analyzer.
●
As a data router between the additional test instrument and the home network.
This configuration means that the analyzer and the additional test instrument are
integrated into a single network.
The network topology is defined in Windows' "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" dialog:
"Windows XP Control Panel – Network Connections – Local Area Connection Status –
Local Area Connection Properties – Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties – Advanced"
"Windows 7 Control Panel – Network and Internet – Network and Sharing Center –
Change adapter settings – Change Settings of this conection – Internet Protocol ver-
sion 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties – Advanced"
Both instruments must have independent IP addresses; see chapter 1.7.2, "TCP/IP
Configutation", on page 25. Contact your LAN administrator for details.
