WEB PAGE OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
To open the embedded web page, start the LInC-U utility by navigating to Start → Programs →
VTI Instruments Corporation → LInC-U Utility → LInC-U Utility. Once the utility is run,
LInC-U will scan the network to discover all LAN-based VTI instruments. Once the scan is
complete, the Discovery Devices tab will appear and show the instruments that were discovered, as
shown in Figure 5-1. To open the web page, click on the hostname hyperlink on the Discover
Devices tab. The IP address of the EX10xxA can also be viewed from this window as well as its
firmware version.

Alternatively, the EX10xxA may also be discovered using Internet Explorer’s Bonjour for Windows
plug-in. The IP address of the EX10xxA can also be entered into the address bar of any web browser
to view the embedded web page. By default, the EX10xxA will first attempt to use DHCP to set its
IP Address. If DHCP is not available on the network it is connected to, it will instead use Auto IP.
Determining the Auto IP address is discussed in the Network Configuration discussion in Section 2.
Other discovery methods, such as VXI-11, can be used as well.
