Appendix C Accessing Data Using the Ethernet

This appendix explains how to access the analyzer data directory as a Windows Share using an
Ethernet connection on a LAN.
The data files stored on the internal hard disk drive of the analyzer can be accessed as a
Windows Share over a LAN Ethernet connection. For this function to operate, the analyzer must:

Be connected to a LAN via the RJ-45 Ethernet connection on the back panel of the
analyzer.

Receive a response to a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request when the
analyzer is initialized.
If the analyzer does not receive a reply, the analyzer:

Disables the Ethernet port.

Does not attempt another DHCP request until the analyzer is restarted.
When both conditions are met, the data directory can be accessed using a Windows computer
on the same LAN.

Access Data Directory

To access the data directory:
1. Click Start > Run, and enter:
\\XXXXXXXXXXXX
(XXXXXXXXXXXX is the serial number of the analyzer)
2. Click OK.
3. Within 10 to 60 seconds, the Windows Share directory displays the subdirectory lgrdata.
Double-click on the lgrdata directory to see a listing of the data files stored on the
internal hard drive of the analyzer.
Open or transfer any of the data files, as you would with any Windows share drive.
