Connecting the Emulation Probe to a LAN
You need to set up a LAN connection for the E5900B emulation probe, even if
you are using an E5901B emulation module.
The emulation probe has an IEEE 802.3 Type 10/100Base-TX LAN connector.
The emulation probe is compatible with both 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) and 100
Mbps (100BASE-TX) twisted-pair ethernet LANs. The probe automatically
negotiates the data rate for the LAN it is connected to.
Before the Emulation Control Interface can connect to the emulation probe,
the probe's LAN parameters (that is, its IP address, gateway address, and
subnet mask) must be set up. The IP address and other network parameters
are stored in nonvolatile memory within the emulation probe.
For information on connecting a debugger to the emulation probe, see
Chapter 8, "Using the Emulation Probe," beginning on page 73.

To choose a point-to-point or site LAN connection

You can connect the emulation probe to your site LAN, or you can create an
isolated network between a 16700-series logic analysis system and the
emulation probe using a point-to-point connection.
A point-to-point connection is especially useful when you
have a 16700-series logic analysis system, and:
• You do not have a site LAN, or
• The measurement setup will be on a cart, or
• You do not want to connect the measurement setup to a LAN because of
security reasons.

Advantages of a point-to-point connection:

• If you have an E5901B emulation module, all LAN parameters will be set
automatically.
• No need for a system administrator to assign IP addresses. (You can use
any IP address for the emulation probe, and it will not conflict with other
