Remote Instrument Access; Configure The Instrument Network Settings - Tektronix H500 User Manual

Remote instrument access

Remote instrument access lets you:
Remotely control the instrument from a PC (directly or through a network)
Transfer data, measurement, setup, map, and other files to and from the instrument
Print measurement data and screen shots to a network printer
The two remote access methods are Ethernet and ActiveSync. An Ethernet connection is much faster than a ActiveSync connection
but the ActiveSync connection is better for instrument-to-PC file interchange. Each access method requires unique configuration
steps, which are described in the following sections.
Configure the instrument network settings
1. Work with your network administrator to determine the IP address of the H500 instrument. If the network has DHCP enabled,
the instrument will automatically obtain an IP address when powered on and connected to the network. If your network does not
support DHCP, or you need a fixed IP address for your instrument, have your system administrator provide you with an address.
2. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the instrument to a network connector. You can do this before or after powering
on the instrument.
3. On the instrument, tap Start > Settings > Network and Dial-up Connections. The instrument network interface is listed as
ENDS4ISA1.
