Test Setups with Two LAN Connections
The two LAN connectors on the rear panel of the analyzer are equivalent. With one LAN connector
used to establish a connection to a home/company network, the other one can be used to connect an
additional instrument, e.g. an additional analyzer or signal generator:
Defining the network topology: Router vs. network client
With two LAN connections, it is possible to use the analyzer in two alternative ways:
•
As a client participating in two independent networks, one comprising the home network including
the analyzer, the second consisting of the additional test instrument plus the analyzer.
•
As a data router between the additional test instrument and the home network. This configuration
means that the analyzer and the additional test instrument are integrated into a single network.
The network topology is defined in Windows XP's Control Panel – Network Connections – Local Area
Connection Status – Local Area Connection Properties – Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties –
Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog. Both instruments must have independent IP addresses; see section
Assigning an IP Address below. Contact your LAN administrator for details.
Attention!
Never use both LAN connectors to connect the analyzer in parallel to the same
network as this will result in connection errors.
