User Manual 1179.2260.02 ─ 02
To connect the R&S
LCX to the controller PC:
1. Connect the IEC 625/IEEE 488 connector of the R&S
LCX to the controller PC with
a double-shielded GPIB bus interface cable.
2. Configure the settings for remote control as described in
The controller must address the instrument with the GPIB bus address, see
ter 10.2.3, "GPIB interface (IEC/IEEE bus interface)"

Adjusting interface addresses
Depending on the network capabilities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol), the address
information is assigned automatically. This mode enables you to establish a physi-
cal connection to the LAN without any additional instrument configuration.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, or if the instrument is set to use alternate
TCP/IP configuration, you must set the addresses manually, see
LAN interface addresses manually"
●
SCPI Raw Port
As an alternative, you can establish a raw TCP/IP connection using sockets for
sending raw SCPI commands to the instrument. To configure the connection,
assign the port, and, if necessary, the host name of the instrument, see
the SCPI raw port and hostname manually"
Assigning the LAN interface addresses manually
If the network provides DHCP, this protocol assigns the IP address automatically
(default setting). But you can also assign the address manually, if necessary. It is
assumed that you have connected controller PC and the instrument, see
To assign the IP addresses for the LAN interface manually:
1.
NOTICE!
Connecting to the network can cause network failure. Errors can affect
the entire network.
Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks:
● Connecting the instrument to the network
● Configuring the network
● Changing IP addresses
2. Access: see
3. Turn
"DHCP & Auto-IP'".
