LAN communications
The Series 2280 comes with one standard LAN crossover cable for LAN communication. However,
you can use any standard LAN crossover cable (RJ-45, male-to-male) or straight-through cable to
connect your equipment. The instrument automatically senses which cable you have connected.
The following figure shows the location of the LAN connection on the rear panel of the instrument.
Connect the LAN cable between this connection and the LAN connector on the computer.
