Overview
This section describes how to connect to the LAN.
The Model 2651A is version 1.5 LXI Device Specification 2016 compliant. The Model 2651A is a
scalable test system that can connect directly to a host computer or interact with a DHCP or DNS
server and other LXI-compliant instruments on a local area network (LAN). The Model 2651A also
supports Multicast DNS (mDNS) and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD), which are useful on a LAN
with no central administration.
The Model 2651A is compliant with the IEEE Std 802.3 and supports full connectivity on a 10 or
100 megabits-per-second network. The LAN interface is an alternative to GPIB that can be used to
build flexible test systems that include web access.
Please read this entire section before you connect the Model 2651A to the LAN.
Establishing a point-to-point connection
To enable access to the instrument web interface and other web applications from a computer, use a
one-to-one LAN connection and set up a static IP address between the host computer and
the instrument.
The following instructions describe how to configure the IP address of the instrument. The IP address
of the instrument is based on the present IP address of the host computer. Each device on the LAN
(corporate or private) requires a unique IP address.
