Getting Started
Remote Control
The N778xBD can be controlled remotely. Doing this you can either use
the
Remote Desktop Connection tool
of Windows XP or a web interface
based on an Active-X control. The N778xBD is configured to listen for
remote access requests. Routers and Firewalls have to be configured to
allow TCP port 3389 for Remote Desktop access and TCP port 80 for the
web based interface.
Remote Desktop Connection Tool
On the computer from which you want to remote-control the instrument
open the start menu and run
Programs
>
Accessories
>
Communications
>
Remote Desktop Connections
. If the instrument is in the same local
network it can be addressed by the instruments serial number of the
instrument (e.g. DE48200001). If the instrument is not in the same local
network, you have to enter the IP address of the instrument instead of its
name. You then are prompted with the remote login screen and have to
login as administrator.

Web-Interface
You can use the internet explorer to connect to the IP address of the
instrument at port 80 and choosing the subfolder called keysightRL (e.g.
http://192.168.1.1:80/keysightRL). For using the remote control access
you need a certain Active-X plugin provided by Microsoft, which will be
installed automatically the first time you visit this URL.
