Figure 39: Model 2450 web interface home page
The home page of the web interface gives you basic information about the instrument, including:
•
The instrument model, serial number, firmware revision, and the last LXI message
•
An
ID
button to help you locate the instrument
•
Links to the instrument web options, including administrative options and LXI information
Identify the instrument
If you have a bank of instruments, you can click
ID
to determine which one you are communicating
with.
Before trying to identify the instrument, make sure you have a remote connection to the instrument.
To identify the instrument:
In the upper right corner of the Home page, click
.
The button turns green
, and the LAN status indicator on the instrument blinks.
Click
again to return the button to its original color and return the LAN status indicator to
steady on.
Change the IP configuration through the web interface
The LAN settings, such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS address, can be changed
through the web page of the instrument.
If you change the IP address through the web page, the web page will try to redirect to the IP address
that gets configured in the instrument. In some cases, this may fail. This generally happens if you
switch from static IP address assignment to IP address assignment using a DHCP server. If this
happens, you need to revert to either using the front panel to set the IP address or use an automatic
discovery tool to determine the new IP address.
