Figure 46: 2281S LAN connection
You can connect the instrument to the LAN in a one-to-one, one-to-many, two-network card, or
enterprise configuration, as described in the following topics.
One-to-one connection
With most instruments, a one-to-one connection is done only when you are connecting a single
instrument to a single network interface card.
A one-to-one connection using a network crossover cable connection is similar to a typical RS-232
hookup using a null modem cable. The crossover cable has its receive (RX) and transmit (TX) lines
crossed to allow the receive line input to be connected to the transmit line output on the network
interfaces.
