Overview
The Keithley Instruments Model 2657A High Power System SourceMeter
®
instrument is LXI version
1.4 Core 2011 compliant. The Model 2657A is a scalable test system that can connect directly to a
host computer or interact with a DHCP or DNS server and other LXI-compliant instruments on a local
area network (LAN). The Model 2657A also supports Multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS Service
Discovery (DNS-SD), which are useful on a LAN with no central administration.
The Model 2657A is compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3 and supports full connectivity on a 10 or
100 megabits-per-second network. The LAN interface is an alternative to GPIB that can be used to
build flexible test systems that include web access.
Please read this entire section before you connect the Model 2657A to the LAN.
Establishing a point-to-point connection
To enable access to the instrument web page and other web applications from a computer, use a
one-to-one LAN connection and set up a static IP address between the host computer and the
instrument.
The following instructions describe how to configure the instrument's IP address. The instrument's IP
address is based on the present IP address of the host computer. Each device on the LAN (corporate
or private) requires a unique IP address.
