Alternative Configuration for the LAN Cable (Not Recommended)
If the USB 2.0 to LAN adapter is not available, the following LAN cable configuration can be
used. However, this configuration is not recommended because it does not allow the PNA to
communicate over the LAN with instruments other than the controller.
A LAN cable is required but is not included. If your PNA model is an E836xC or
N5230C, the LAN cable required is the cross-over type; for N524xA, see Figure
2-1 on page 2-5 . Any LAN cable may be used with all other PNA models. (A
cross-over LAN cable is used to connect computing devices together directly
where they would normally be connected via a network switch, hub, or router.)
1. As shown in the graphic above, connect an appropriate type of LAN cable (not included) to
the rear of the 85523B CalPod Controller.
2. As shown in the graphic above, connect the other end of the LAN cable to the PNA. (There is
no network connector available for Web access.)
3. Verify that AC line cords are connected to both the PNA and CalPod Controller and that they
are powered on.
4. Select File > Minimize Application.
5. Run the CalPod LAN Config icon on the PNA desktop and select 1. Direct Cable Connect.
(This configures the PNA to a static IP address.)
