How to Connect a LAN Power Sensor
Disconnecting a LAN sensor from its cable or disconnecting a LAN sensor
while communicating with the FieldFox is not recommended. Either of
these actions causes the LAN sensor to lose its internal state settings.

"Troubleshooting" on page
IMPORTANT!
LAN sensors require that the FieldFox has a CPU2 installed.
Connect the LAN power sensor to a LAN port. This section provides some
general LAN power sensor connection information and some specific
FieldFox-related LAN connection information. For more details, refer to your
LAN power sensor's User's Guide.
Connect the LAN sensor via any of the following LAN operating modes:
— Dynamic IP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol or DHCP)
— Auto IP (Local PC control or isolated (non-site) LAN)
— Static IP (Manual mode)
The default LAN operating mode of the LAN sensor is Dynamic IP.
Dynamic IP and Auto IP are enabled on the LAN sensor shipped from Keysight.
This allows the LAN sensor to automatically obtain an address on the network.
The LAN sensor communicates with the DHCP server to obtain the LAN
interface configuration. If the DHCP server is not detected, then either the
DHCP server is not present or it does not allow the LAN sensor to obtain an IP
address. The LAN sensor will then try to obtain the LAN configuration using
AutoIP if enabled, otherwise the LAN sensor will try to use the static IP set in
the LAN sensor. If required, push the LAN reset switch to reset the LAN sensor
LAN configuration to a known default state.
