The instrument saves the address in nonvolatile memory. It does not change when you send a reset
command or when you turn the power off and on again.
To set the GPIB address from the front panel:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Select Communication.
3. Select the GPIB tab.
4. Set the GPIB Address.
5. Select OK.
You can also set the GPIB address using remote commands. Set the GPIB address with the SCPI
command :SYSTem:GPIB:ADDRess or the TSP command gpib.address.
LAN communications
You can communicate with the instrument using a local area network (LAN).
When you connect using a LAN, you can use a web browser to access the internal web page of the
instrument and change some of the instrument settings. For more information, see
Using the web
interface (on page 3-12).
The 2450 is a version 1.5 LXI Device Specification 2016 instrument that supports TCP/IP and
complies with IEEE Std 802.3 (ethernet LAN). There is one LAN port (located on the rear panel of the
instrument) that supports full connectivity on a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps network. The 2450 automatically
detects the speed.
The 2450 also supports Multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD), which are
useful on a LAN with no central administration.
Contact your network administrator to confirm your specific network requirements before setting up a
LAN connection.
If you have problems setting up the LAN, refer to LAN troubleshooting suggestions (on page 3-12
).
