This section is intended for network administrators responsible for
the configuration and maintenance of devices on the network. It
provides information for connecting and configuring the power
supply with the MEB option.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) OPTION
All power supplies functions are programmable over the LAN
(Ethernet) interface if the ENET/LAN option is installed (specified
at the time of order) The ENET/LAN interface, which operates
with auto detection, supports 10Base-T, 100Base-T and
1000Base-T.
Using LAN allows remote communication with the instrument; it
is fast, simple and the LAN from your PC does not require any
additional proprietary software or cards.
Media Access Control (MAC) Address
Each power source with the LAN option installed has a unique
network address known as the MAC address, a unique
hexadecimal address, which is listed on a rear panel label of the
power source. To operate the power source on a network, this
MAC address needs to be assigned to a TCP/IP address, which will
be used to address the device on the network.
Communication Configuration
Presented here are three connection choices for remote control of
the instrument:
through a local area network (LAN)
direct to a PC
through a private network.
Each requires an IP address; the LAN also requires a Gateway
address. The addresses can be set automatically through a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server or set
manually with a static IP address.
LAN Connection
Connect the instrument directly to a network Ethernet port with a
LAN cable, and allow the DHCP server to automatically assign a
dynamic IP and Gateway address. If DHCP is not enabled, see the
section on SETTING LAN PARAMETERS
in this chapter or
contact your network administrator.
