2.5 N4865A CONFIGURATION METHODS
This paragraph provides two methods to confi gure the N4865A for operation with
the companion oscilloscope. When shipped, N4865As are confi gured as listed
in Table 1-2. AutoFind is enabled and the N4865A’s GPIB address is 4.
Check the LAN oscilloscope to see how it is confi gured. If the oscilloscope
is set to AutoIP or to an IP address in the AutoIP B Range of 169.254.xxx.
xxx, it does not have to be changed. The N4865A will fi nd it and link to it in
back-to-back connections or when connected through a hub or switch. If the
oscilloscope’s IP address is not in the AutoIP B range, either it or the N4865A
should be reconfi gured for successful linkage. You have two choices:
1. Set the oscilloscope to use a static IP address in the N4865A’s B address
range.
Caution: Do not set the oscilloscope to the N4865A’s own IP
address. A suggested value is 169.254.90.00.
2. Reset the N4865A’s IP address and network settings to match the oscillo-
scope’s settings or those used on your company network. For dedicated
oscilloscope linkage, turn AutoFind off and enter the Oscilloscope’s IP
address in the Instrument IP Address window on the N4865A’s Confi gura-
tion Page.
2.5.1 Web Browser Confi guration Method
The Web Browser method uses a standard browser such as Firefox, Internet
Explorer or Netscape to view and change the N4865A’s current settings.
1. Temporarily disconnect the computer from the company network and use
the supplied Ethernet Crossover Cable to connect the computer to the
unit as shown in Figure 2-2. This will eliminate any potential network
confl icts while confi guring the unit. Use the supplied USB power adapter
to power the N4865A.
