Overview
This section describes how to connect to the LAN.
The 2606B is version 1.5 LXI Device Specification 2016 compliant. The 2606B 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 2606B also supports Multicast DNS
(mDNS) and DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD), which are useful on a LAN with no central
administration.
The 2606B 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 2606B to the LAN.
Install the crossover cable
Use a LAN crossover cable (RJ-45, male to male) or a straight-through cable to connect your
equipment. The 2606B includes a cable that you can use for the TSP-Link
communications. The instrument automatically senses which cable you have connected.
The following figure shows the location of the LAN port on the front panel of the instrument. Connect
the LAN cable between this connection and the LAN port on the computer.
