Keysight M9502A/M9505A AXIe Chassis User Guide 37
Using the M9536A Embedded Controller LAN Ports Chassis Installation
This section provides overall guidance on selecting and using the M9536A LAN
ports. The controller uses the Keysight IO Libraries configuration file to keep
track of all instrument connections. Any change to LAN connections after
running Connection Expert (adding, removing, or changing LAN cable
connections) may cause a change in LAN address and therefore cause
Connection Expert to lose track of instruments. If your application programs rely
on a specific IP address, these programs may cease to operate if you change LAN
cable connections.
Changes to the ESM PCIe or LAN connection are only detected as the ESM is
powered up. Perform the following steps when you change either of these two
connections:
1
Within Keysight Connection Expert, delete the LAN interfaces (right click on
the interface then select
Delete
). This causes Connection Expert to forget all
instrument history.
2
Shut down Windows on the M9536A Embedded Controller.
3
After Windows shuts down, power down the AXIe chassis using the chassis
power button.
4
Make the desired cabling change to the ESM PCIe and/or LAN connections.
5
Power up the AXIe chassis using the chassis power button.
6
Run Keysight Connection Expert and verify that the LAN interfaces are
operating correctly and that Connection Expert finds the AXIe chassis.
Recommendations
As a general rule, connect a network LAN cable to the ESM’s LAN port and
connect LXI instruments to the M9536A’s LAN ports. While other configurations
are viable, this configuration provides the fastest and most consistent reporting
in Keysight Connection Expert. Refer to
Figure 3 .
-
Where you have the network and instruments connected when the chassis
and controller first power on determines how quickly Keysight Connection
Expert locates network instruments. If necessary, shut down the controller
and chassis and reboot.
- If you move a LAN cable while chassis power is applied, Connection Expert
may not find all of the instruments available on the network.
With Keysight IO Libraries 16.2 (and later versions) Keysight Connection Expert
should automatically identify the AXIe chassis. With Keysight IO Libraries version
16.1, you may need to start Connection Expert, then power down the controller
and chassis and reboot them in order for Connection Expert to identify the AXIe
chassis.
