Agilent 86038B Photonic Dispersion and Loss Analyzer, Second Edition
You can change the PDLA network settings as needed so that it
connects properly to your specific network.
Because your network settings are unique to your IT
infrastructure, Agilent Technologies will not be able to assist
you with connecting your instrument to your network. Please
contact your network administrator or IT department for
assistance. For more information, refer to the MS Windows
resource kit (available from Microsoft) that is appropriate for
your computer system. You can also refer to the online Help for
Windows XP (Start > Help).
By default, as the instrument starts up, you are logged on as an
administrator with the logon name PNA_Admin. The login
password, which is usually not needed, is "agilent". Agilent only
recommends using the PDLA application while you are logged
on as an administrator.
You can change network settings by using the standard
Microsoft® Windows functions. To access these functions, you
must exit the PDLA application. You can do this by clicking
on the menu.
