Connect the LAN cable
Connect the LAN connector between the rear panel of the instrument and the host computer or
network router. You can use an LAN crossover cable (RJ-45, male/male) or straight-through cable.
The instrument automatically senses which cable you have connected.
The location of the LAN connector on the instrument is shown below.
The TSP-Link connectors will accept a LAN connection, but will not be identified as a LAN and will
not connect properly. Be sure to connect the LAN connector correctly.
