Remote Front Panel Operation

Remote Front Panel
The Remote Front Panel capability provides a means to allow the front panel
of the analyzer to be operated remotely from a PC with an X Windowing emu-
lator or a UNIX workstation with X Windows.
With the exception for update time, which is limited by the speed of the
underlying network, there should be no visible difference between what would
be displayed on the analyzer locally and the remote display.
Information and Equipment Required for the Configura-
tion Process
1 Before beginning the analyzer network configuration process, obtain the
following required information from your Information Technology (IT)
department.
In the analyzer network configuration process, an IP address and the associat-
ed hostname need to be assigned to the analyzer and added to the DNS utilized
by your PC or UNIX workstation. Gateway and Net Mask information will also
need to be specified in order for the analyzer to communicate with the LAN.
The new Internet Protocol (IP) address is used to uniquely identify the
network address of the analyzer. An IP address is a set of four decimal num-
bers, separated by periods, like 192.170.128.21.
The Hostname associated with the IP address or the analyzer.
Net Mask (Subnetwork Mask)# is used to let the Internet Protocol separate
the network ID from the full IP address and thus determine whether the source
and destination IP address are on the same network.
Gateway address is used to communicate with devices on a different physical
network. The gateway address is the address of a routing device that connects
your analyzer's LAN with other LANs. In some cases, this may be the same ad-
dress as the IP address of the analyzer client.
