"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.
3.7.3.2
Ping
The instrument includes a ping server and a ping client. The ping client can be
used to verify the connection between 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 useful 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
).
3. Click "Submit".
The result of the echo request is displayed if the connection was established.

A GPIB interface is integrated on the rear panel of the instrument. You can set
the GPIB address and the ID response string. The GPIB language is set as SCPI
by default and cannot be changed for the R&S

For details on the GPIB interface see
