HP E3491A, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 18 / 70

Connecting to a LAN
The HP E3491A Pentium Probe has two LAN connectors
(see figure 4):
•
A BNC connector that can be directly connected to an IEEE 802.3
Type 10BASE2 cable (ThinLAN). When using this connector, the
HP E3491A Pentium Probe provides the functional equivalent of a
Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) for ThinLAN.
•
An IEEE 802.3 Type 10BASE-T (StarLAN) connector.
C a u t i o n Use either the 10BASE2 or the 10BASE-T connector. Do
not
use both. The
HP E3491A Pentium Probe will not work with both connected at the same
time.
The configuration switches must be set for a LAN configuration. Switch 1
must be set to OPEN, indicating that a LAN connection is being made. For
10BASE-T connections, switch 5 must also be set to OPEN (see figure 5).
Refer to "To set the 10BASE-T configuration switches" for additional
information on configuring 10BASE-T switches.
Use the procedure in "Setting Up LAN Communication" to set the
Ethernet address, IP address, and gateway address.
