Configuring the Remote Interface
This section briefly describes how to configure the LAN remote interface.
For more information on configuring the remote interface connectivity, refer to
NOTE
the Keysight Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide. If you
have installed the IO Libraries Suite, you can access the Connectivity Guide via
the Keysight IO Libraries Control icon. Alternatively, you can access the
Connectivity Guide via the web at www.keysight.com/find/connectivity.
LAN Configuration
The power meter has three LAN operating modes:
– Dynamic IP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP)
– Auto IP (Local PC Control or isolated (non-site) LAN)
– Static IP (Manual mode)
These three modes can be set up from the P-Series soft front panel. For soft front
panel operation, refer to the P-Series Modular Power Meter Installation Guide.
Configuring the LAN Remotely
To automatically configure the LAN settings, enable DHCP operation using the
SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DHCP[:STATe] command.
In this Dynamic IP mode the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
values are obtained from a DHCP server. Using this Dynamic IP mode does not
require a detailed knowledge of your network configuration.
The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and Host settings can be
changed manually or remotely. To individually specify the LAN settings, use the
following commands:
– IP Address -SYSTem:COMMuniucate:LAN:ADDRess
– Subnet Mask -SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:SMASk
– Default Gateway -SYSTem:COMMunicate:LAN:DGATeway
