Step 4. Remote Interface Configuration; Ip Addresses And Host Name - Keysight P Series Installation Manual

Step 4. Remote Interface Configuration

The P-Series modular power meter is remotely controlled by LAN. This section
shows you how to set the interface configurations.
– To connect the power meter to your PC, configure and verify your connection,
NOTE
– For more information on configurating the remote interface connectivity, refer
The power meter has three LAN operating modes which can be configured:
– Dynamic IP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP)
– Auto IP (Local PC Control or isolated (non-site) LAN)
– Static IP (Manual mode)
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway will be changed remotely
during configuration.
The IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway values are stored in
non-volatile memory and are not part of the save-recall function in the P-Series
soft front panel.

IP addresses and host name

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Automatic IP are enabled on
P-Series modular power meter shipped from Keysight. This allows the instrument
to automatically obtain an address on the network. If there is a DHCP server on
the network, the server will assign the address to the instrument.
If there is no DHCP server on the network, the P-Series modular power meter will
automatically determine an address to use. The address will be in the range of
169.254.XXX.XXX.
