Web connection
You can enable or disable access to the instrument's web interface.
To enable or disable a web connection:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > ENABLE > WEB.
2. Select either ON or OFF. After the power cycle reminder, you return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
3. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key to return to the LAN MENU.
4. Turn the instrument on and off again to finalize the changes.
Telnet connection
Telnet is similar to raw socket and is used when the user needs to interact directly with the
instrument, typically for debugging and troubleshooting. Telnet requires a separate telnet program.
The instrument supports the telnet protocol, which you can use over a TCP/IP connection to issue
commands to the instrument. You can use a telnet connection to interact with scripts or issue
commands in real time.
To enable or disable a telnet connection:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > ENABLE > TELNET.
2. Select either ON or OFF. After the power cycle reminder, you return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
3. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key to return to the LAN MENU.
4. Turn the instrument on and off again to finalize the changes.
VXI-11 connection
This remote interface is similar to GPIB and supports message boundaries, serial poll, and service
requests (SRQs). A VXI-11 driver or VISA software is required. Test Script Builder (TSB) uses VISA
and can be used with the VXI-11 interface. You can expect a slower connection with this protocol
compared to a raw socket.
To enable or disable a VXI-11 connection:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > ENABLE > VXI11.
2. Select either ON or OFF. After the power cycle reminder, you return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
3. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key to return to the LAN MENU.
4. Turn the instrument on and off again to finalize the changes.
