Connecting a LAN Cable
A LAN cable can be connected to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the analyzer.
To establish a LAN connection, proceed as follows:
1. Refer to
Chapter 11.1.3.1, "Assigning an IP Address"
2. Connect a CAT6 or CAT7 LAN cable to the LAN port.
The LAN port of the analyzer is an auto-crossover Ethernet port. You can connect it to
a network, but you can also set up a direct connection to a computer or another instru-
ment. For both connection types, you can use either crossover or straight through
(patch) cables.
The IP address information is displayed in the System – [Setup] > "Remote Settings"
softtool tab.
