The welcome page of the web interface gives you basic information about the instrument, including:
The instrument model, manufacturer, serial number, firmware revision, and the last LXI message
An ID button to help you locate the instrument
Links to the instrument web options, including administrative options and LXI information
Identify the instrument
If you have a bank of instruments, you can select the ID button to determine which one you are
communicating with.
Before trying to identify the instrument, make sure you have a remote connection to the instrument.
To identify the instrument:
1. On the home page, select the
ID
button. The button turns green and the LAN status indicator on
the instrument blinks.
2. Select the
ID
button again to return the button to its original color and return the LAN status
indicator to steady on.
Change the IP configuration through the web interface
The LAN settings, such as IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS address, can be changed
through the web page of the instrument.
If you change the IP address through the web page, the web page will try to redirect to the IP address
that gets configured in the instrument. In some cases, this may fail. This generally happens if you
switch from static IP address assignment to IP address assignment using a DHCP server. If this
happens, you need to revert to either using the front panel to set the IP address or use an automatic
discovery tool to determine the new IP address.
You can also change the IP configuration through the front panel or with SCPI commands. See
up LAN communications on the instrument
(on page 2-51) for information.
To change the IP configuration using the instrument web page:
1. Access the internal web page as described in the previous topic.
2. From the navigation bar on the left, in the LXI home menu, select
IP Configuration
.
3. Select
Modify
. The Modify IP Configuration page is displayed.
