This section describes how to configure each remote interface.
This instrument supports remote interface communication over GPIB (optional), USB, and LAN
(default). All three interfaces are "live" at power up, and they may be used simultaneously. To use
these interfaces, install the Keysight IO Libraries software from the Keysight Automation-Ready CD
and connect the instrument to your PC.
The front-panel IO annunciator indicates remote interface activity. The Lan annunciator appears when
the LAN port is connected and configured. This instrument continually monitors the instrument's LAN
port and automatically reconfigures it when the instrument is disconnected and then reconnected to a
network.
The instrument ships with an Automation-Ready CD that contains Keysight IO Libraries Suite
software, which must be installed to enable remote-interface operations. The CD automatically starts
and provides information on installing the software. The CD also includes the
Keysight Technologies
USB/LAN/GPIB Connectivity Guide , which contains additional information.
To begin configuring the remote interface from the front panel, log in to the Admin menu by pressing
[Menu] > System > Admin > Login. The default password is blank. Then press
[Menu] > System > Admin > IO to enable the desired interfaces.
Then press [Menu] > System > IO to configure the individual interfaces.
The Enable LAN services control enables or disables LAN services such as VXI-11, HiSLIP, sockets,
and telnet. However, the LAN interface, home page and configuration page remain enabled for the
Web interface.
