Remote programming of the LCA with the .NET interface is only possible if
the LCA is connected to a local area network (LAN) via the built-in LAN
connector. When the LCA is connected to a network, it is also possible to
connect it to network printers and remote servers, with access to shared
folders and files.
Using the SCPI interface, the LCA can also be controlled from a USB port.
NOTE
The LCA comes configured for DHCP networking, and has a default
machine name. In many cases, connecting the LCA to your LAN is simply a
case of registering the machine name with your IT department.
Do not connect the LCA to a network that is configured to automatically
NOTE
install software on network devices. Installing or overwriting files on the
LCA computer system may impact the operation of the instrument.
Please contact your network administrator or IT department to find out if
you have this type of network.
The LCA LAN connector supports 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T Ethernet
NOTE
networks using TCP/IP and other Microsoft supported networking
protocols. The LCA uses Microsoft Windows 7 or XP.
