The following figure shows the location of the LAN port on the rear panel of the instrument. Connect
the LAN cable between this connection and the LAN port on the computer.

You can connect the instrument to the LAN in a one-to-one, one-to-many, two network card, or
enterprise configuration, as described in the following topics.
One-to-one connection
With most instruments, a one-to-one connection is done only when you are connecting a single
instrument to a single network interface card.
A one-to-one connection using a network crossover cable connection is similar to a typical RS-232
system using a null modem cable. The crossover cable has its receive (RX) and transmit (TX) lines
crossed to allow the receive line input to be connected to the transmit line output on the network
interfaces.
