for instrument identification within the program and displayed in the menu as
an option if there is an Ethernet link.
8. Confirm the settings with "Finish".
The instrument is configured and the settings are displayed in the "TCP/IP
Settings" tab.
9. To test the connection, select "Validate".
A message indicates whether the link to the instrument can be set up or not.
If a connection cannot be set up, check whether the controller and the instru-
ment are connected to the network (network cable) and are switched on. Cor-
rect spelling of the IP address or the computer name should be checked. For
further error location, inform the network administrator. In large networks,
specification of additional addresses may be required for link setup, e.g. gate-
way and subnet mask, which are known to the network administrator.
The instrument is now registered in the program and can be addressed via the
resource string or alias name.
To start a remote control session over LAN (using VXI-11)
