Embedded Web Server: Using the X-Series Test Set Remotely
The test set can be controlled using either the Embedded Web Server or Windows
Remote Desktop. The Embedded Web Server is a good solution when you do not want to
log into the user account on the test set. This allows you to view the display or control
the test set, without logging the current user off. Windows Remote Desktop must be used
when the remote computer keyboard is needed as an input device (such as for editing
filenames, or setting the title.) Also, Windows Remote Desktop generally has a faster
response time.
Accessing the test set through the Internet
It is possible to access and control the test set through the Internet and World Wide Web,
or a local internet, using the built-in Embedded Server functionality. This section
provides details of how to use this functionality.
The test set may also be accessed and controlled using the Windows Remote Desktop
functionality (see the section
“Remote Desktop: Using the X-Series test set remotely"
page 78, for details).
The test set Embedded Server capabilities are fully compliant with the LXI (LAN
eXtensions for Instrumentation) standard.
To gain access to the test set from the LAN, you need to know its
hostname (or IP Address). For details of how to locate this information
using the test set display, see

Notes

Enter a URL corresponding to the
test set hostname or IP Address.
This functionality is only fully
supported when using Internet

In this example, the test set IP address is
141.121.85.155.
When the connection is
made, the welcome
page appears.
