Usb Connections; Lan Connections - Site And Private - Keysight Technologies N6705C Operating And Service Manual

2 Installation

USB Connections

The following figure illustrates a typical USB interface system.
1. Connect your instrument to the USB port on your computer using a USB cable.
2. With the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite running, the computer will
automatically recognize the instrument. This may take several seconds. When the instrument is
recognized, your computer will display the VISA alias, IDN string, and VISA address. This information is
located in the USB folder. You can also view the instrument's VISA address from the front panel menu.
3. You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument,
or you can program your instrument using the various programming environments.

LAN Connections - site and private

A site LAN is a local area network in which LAN-enabled instruments and computers are connected to
the network through routers, hubs, and/or switches. They are typically large, centrally-managed
networks with services such as DHCP and DNS servers. The following figure illustrates a typical site
LAN system.
1. Connect the instrument to the site LAN or to your computer using a LAN cable. The as-shipped
instrument LAN settings are configured to automatically obtain an IP address from the network using a
DHCP server (DHCP is set On). The DHCP server will register the instrument's hostname with the
dynamic DNS server. The hostname as well as the IP address can then be used to communicate with
the instrument. The front panel Lan indicator will come on when the LAN port has been configured.
If you need to manually configure any instrument LAN settings, refer to
Interface Configuration
panel of the instrument.
