Using IO Interfaces
Using LAN
DHCP LAN Configuration
If the DHCP server uses dynamic DNS to link the hostname with the assigned
IP address, the hostname may be used in place of the IP address. Otherwise,
the hostname is not usable.
AUTO (DHCP/Auto–IP) Configuration
DHCP and Auto–IP are used together to make automatic (AUTO) mode for IP
configuration. Automatic mode attempts DHCP first and then if that fails Auto–
IP is used to detect a private network. If neither is found, Manual is the final
choice.
If the DHCP server uses dynamic DNS to link the hostname with the assigned
IP address, the hostname may be used in place of the IP address. Otherwise,
the hostname is not usable.
Auto–IP provides automatic TCP/IP set–up for instruments on any manually
configured networks.
DHCP/Auto-IP LAN Configuration Sequence
Setting up Private LAN
You can connect the Keysight X-Series signal generator directly to a PC using
a crossover cable. To do this, you should either choose to set IP addresses of
the PC and signal generator to differ only in the last digit (example: PC’s IP:
1.1.1.1 and Signal generator’s IP: 1.1.1.2); or you can use the DHCP feature or
Auto–IP feature if your PC supports them. For more information go to
www.keysight.com
, and search on the Connectivity Guide (E2094–90009) or
use the Keysight Connection Expert’s Help to see the Connection Guide.
For details on each key, use the key help (described in User’s Guide). For additional SCPI command information, refer to the SCPI
Command Reference.
AUTO (DHCP/Auto–IP): Request a new IP address in the following sequence: 1) from the DHCP (server–based LAN), 2) Auto–
IP (private network without a network administrator) or if neither is available, 3) Manual setting is selected.
DHCP (MXG-A models only): Request a new IP address from the DHCP server each power cycle.
Confirming this action configures the signal generator as a DHCP client. In DHCP mode, the signal generator will request a
new IP address from the DHCP server upon rebooting to determine the assigned IP address.
