10 LAN Interface Configuration

10.1

Overview

All AFX models are equipped with a LAN (Ethernet) interface. As shipped, the unit automatically
obtains an IP address from the network using the DCHP protocol. If the instrument is turned off
for long periods of time, the IP address lease may expire and a new IP address will be assigned.
If this is the case, it is possible to assign a fixed IP address instead.
10.2

Web Browser Interface

The AFX Series® conforms to the LXI (Lan eXtensions for Instrumentation) standard and as such
as a built in web server. This allows communication with the AFX from any web browser as long
as the AFX is on the same network.
Note: The AFX web server has been tested with Google Chrome and MozillaFirefox browsers
only. Microsoft Internet Explorer is now obsolete and is not supported. Other browser
like Edge or Safari may not fully operate or display information correctly.
Note: Web server use from a browser is not supported in UPC Compatibility mode. Disable this
mode when operating the AFX from a web browser.
Use the IP address shown in the LAN INTERFACE SETUP screen under the SYSTEM key to
determine the IP address to type into the web browser.
CAUTION: BEFORE USING BROWSER CONTROL
Verify that the level of remote access control is appropriate for the situation at hand. The power source
is capable of producing lethal output voltage and operating it without being physically in the same room
or space present a safety risks to others. Refer to 10.3.2, "Front Panel Access Control".
