Ethernet supports various settings. The LAN logical device has options that
show the current status under lan.status commands while it has pending
configuration settings under lan.config. The config settings will take effect when
lan.applysettings is executed. Using the lan.reset command is equivalent to
doing a lan.restoredefaults followed by a lan.applysettings. To only restore
defaults without resetting to them, use the lan.restoredefaults command by itself.
Please refer to the LAN ICLs directly for individual settings that may be
controlled with the LAN logical device. From the front panel, the LAN (Ethernet)
options may be enabled or disabled collectively under MAIN MENU and LAN
settings. From the bus, one may enable or disable certain aspects of LAN with:
1. comm.lan.telnet.enable
2. comm.lan.web.enable
3. comm.lan.vxi11.enable
4. comm.lan.rawsockets.enable
The following list contains the four LAN default port numbers (along with
corresponding ICLs to query for these values):
1. telnet is 23 (ICL: lan.status.port.telnet)
2. rawsocket is 5025 (ICL: lan.status.port.rawsocket)
3. vxi11 is 1024 (ICL: lan.status.port.vxi11)
4. dead socket termination is 5030 (ICL: lan.status.port.dst)
When changing between the various bus interfaces, send the abort command to
have that interface become the active one for receiving and processing bus
commands. For example, if changing from communicating with instrument over
GPIB and to send ICLs with a telnet session (assuming both interfaces are
enabled):
1. Connect using telnet.
2. Send abort to leave the GPIB interface and switch over to telnet.
3. Send commands as desired.
Any of the enable settings will take effect the next time the unit powers up.
Therefore, after making changes to these settings, power cycle the unit.
