LCA System Configuration
How to configure the LCA for networking
Remote programming of the LCA
with the .NET interface
is
only possible if the LCA is
connected to a local area network
(LAN) via the built-in LAN
connector. When the LCA is
connected to a network, it is also
possible to connect it to
network printers and remote servers,
with access to shared
folders and files.
How to connect the LCA to your network
The LCA comes configured for DHCP networking, and has a
default machine name. In many cases, connecting the LCA to
your LAN is simply a case of registering the machine name with
your IT department.
How to change network settings
You can change the LCA network settings as needed so that it
connects properly to your specific network.
N O TE
Do not connect the LCA to a network that is configured to automatically
install software on network devices. Installing or overwriting files on the
LCA computer system may impact the operation of the instrument. Please
contact your network administrator or IT department to find out if you have
this type of network.

The LCA LAN connector supports 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet
networks using TCP/IP and other Microsoft supported networking
protocols. The LCA uses Microsoft® Windows
7 or
XP.

Because your network settings are unique to your IT infrastructure,
Keysight Technologies will not be able to assist you with connecting your
instrument to your network. Please contact your network administrator or
IT department for assistance. For more information, refer to the MS
Windows resource kit (available from Microsoft) that is appropriate for
your computer system. You can also refer to the online Help for Windows
(Start > Help).

Using the SCPI interface, the LCA can also be controlled from a USB
port.
