Lan - Keysight N1911A Installation Manual

1 Getting Started

LAN

The power meter has three LAN operating modes:
– Dynamic IP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP)
– Auto IP (Local PC Control or isolated (non-site) LAN)
– Static IP (Manual mode)
Your power meter uses standard VXI-11 protocol for emulating GPIB over a
NOTE
TCP/IP link. The emulated GPIB address is fixed at 13.
Configuring the power meter
The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway, can be changed manually or
remotely.
The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway values are stored in
non-volatile memory and are not part of the save-recall function.
Selecting the LAN network type
You can connect and configure your power meter for site LAN or isolated
(non-site) LAN.
A site LAN network is defined as a local area network (LAN) in which computers
and LAN-enabled instruments are connected to a site LAN (workgroup LAN,
intranet, or enterprise LAN) via optional routers, hubs, and/or switches.
An isolated (non-site) LAN network is defined as a local area network (LAN) in
which computers and LAN-enabled instruments are not connected to a site LAN.
Select the LAN network type you will use to connect the power meter to your
computer. Then follow the procedure that corresponds to your selected LAN
network type.
