Setting Up Lan Communication - HP E3491A Installation And Service Manual

Setting Up LAN Communication

To initialize the Pentium probe, you must assign an IP address
(Internet address) an Ethernet address, and a gateway address. The
IP address and other network parameters are stored in nonvolatile
memory within the HP E3491A Pentium Probe. These addresses
must be initialized for either point-to-point or LAN connections.
The Pentium probe must be on the same subnet as the HP 16505A
Prototype Analyzer. The HP E3491A Pentium Probe automatically
sets the subnet mask based on the subnet mask used by other devices
on the network.
To initialize the LAN parameters:
•
Set the configuration switch S6 on the Pentium probe to OPEN.
Cycle power to reconfigure the probe. Switch 6 causes the probe to
continuously broadcast a search message over the network.
•
Use the Init/Modify LAN Address menu in the HP 16505A Prototype
Analyzer Run Control Tool interface to set the LAN parameters.
Use the Pentium probe Ethernet address that is written on the bottom
of the probe.
For point-to-point connections, use an IP address that is one greater
than or one less than the HP 16505A IP address (for example, the
prototype analyzer default address is 192.0.2.231, so use 192.0.2.230
or 192.0.2.232).
For LAN connections, obtain an IP address from your local network
administrator or system administrator.
The gateway address is an IP address and is entered in integer dot
notation. For point-to-point connections, just leave this field blank. If
connections are to be made to workstations on other networks or
subnets, this address must be set to the address of the gateway
machine. Obtain that address from your local network administrator or
system administrator.
•
Enter the Ethernet address, IP address, and the gateway address in
the appropriate fields, then select Set Addresses.
