The EMX-2500 chassis accommodates the EMX-75XX card and provides an internal web page,
which allows easy configuration, management and troubleshooting of the device. This internal
Soft Front Panel (SFP) is a JavaScript based application which is designed to work, within web
browser environment. If you know the IP address of the instrument, you can type it in the address
bar of any modern web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox etc.
To open the embedded web page, simply type the IP address of the instrument into browsers
address bar, and navigate accordingly. In order for your browser to communicate with the
instrument, the instrument and your computer should be within the same network, and may require
permissions from your network/computer administrator.
There are various ways to search the IP address, and other network configuration parameters of the
instrument. The easiest method is to refer to the embedded display on the instrument, and use the
menu key to navigate to necessary details. However, if the device display is not physically
accessible, you can use LXI Discovery tool, or any standard IO Libraries tool, such as National
Instruments (c) Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and the Keysight (formerly
Agilent) (c) Connection Expert (ACE) to discover the instrument. The instrument also supports
mDNS protocols, so that any tools meant for Zero Configuration Networking, such as Apple ®
Bonjour ® or Avahi, can also be used to discover the instrument. For more information on
installation of these software utilities, please refer to their respective vendors.
The LXI Discovery tool is a free utility, available for download from LXI Consortium itself. It
uses both VXI-11, as well as mDNS protocols to detect the LXI instruments present in your
network. Once installed, this software will discover EMX-2500 instruments, if available, as shown
below.
