The "Advanced LAN Configuration" parameters are used as follows:
●
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.
2.9.2.2 Ping
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 packets
to determine whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is useful for diagnosing 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).
2. Enter the IP address of the second device without the ping command and without
any further parameters into the "Destination Address" field (e.g. 10.113.10.203).
3. Click "Submit".
