1. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION This manual explains how to control an LV 7800 remotely over an Ethernet. For other explanations and notes, see the main LV 7800 instruction manual. Networks Controlling an LV 7800 remotely through the instrument’s Ethernet interface has only been confirmed to work in a local network environment.
The new settings become valid after the instrument restarts. Connect a cable to the LV 7800 Ethernet port. Use a cross cable to connect the LV 7800 to a PC directly. Use a straight cable to connect the LV 7800 to a PC through a hub.
Entering a command for a mode that is different from the current display mode produces no effect. • Enable Telnet flow control. If your Telnet client does not support flow control, the LV 7800 may not operate properly when commands are transferred at a high speed.
2. TELNET Commands Telnet commands follow the LV 7800 menu structure. For details on how each command works, see the instruction manuals for the LV 7800 and each unit. 2.3.1 LV 7800 Commands ● Front Panel LV 7800 (MULTI RASTERIZER)
