mode uses DHCP server or Dynamic Link Local Addressing (Automatic IP) to
obtain the instrument IP address.
Changing the LAN configuration is password-protected. The default pass-
word is

(notice upper and lower case characters).
8.7.1.2
Advanced LAN Configuration
The "LAN Configuration > Advanced LAN Configuration" parameters are used as
follows:
●
The "Negotiation" configuration field provides different Ethernet speed and
duplex mode settings. In general, the "Auto Detect" mode is sufficient.
●
"ICMP Ping" must be enabled to use the ping utility.
●
"VXI-11" is the protocol that is used to detect the instrument in the LAN.
According to the standard, LXI devices must use VXI-11 to provide a detection
mechanism; other additional detection mechanisms are permitted.
●
mDNS and DNS-SD are two additional protocols: Multicast DNS and DNS
Service Discovery. They are used for device communication in zero configura-
tion networks working without DNS and DHCP
8.7.1.3
Ping Client
Ping is a utility that verifies the connection between the LXI-compliant instrument
and another device. The ping command uses the
ICMP
echo request and echo
reply packets to determine whether the LAN connection is functional. Ping is use-
ful for diagnosing IP network or router failures. The ping utility is not password-
protected.
To initiate a ping between the LXI-compliant instrument and a second connected
device:
1. Enable "ICMP Ping" on the "Advanced LAN Configuration" page (enabled
after an LCI).
2. Enter the IP address of the second device
without the ping command and
without any further parameters
into the "Destination Address" field (e.g.
10.113.10.203
).
