Setting Up Private Lan; Verifying Lan Functionality - Keysight E4428C ESG RF Programming Manual

Setting up Private LAN

You can connect the Keysight MXG, ESG, or PSG directly to a PC using a crossover cable. To do this,
you should either choose to set IP addresses of the PC and signal generator to differ only in the last
digit (example: PC's IP: 1.1.1.1 and Signal generator's IP: 1.1.1.2); or you can use the DHCP feature or
Auto–IP feature if your PC supports them. For more information go to www.keysight.com, and search
on the Connectivity Guide (E2094–90009) or use the Keysight Connection Expert's Help to see the
Connection Guide.

Verifying LAN Functionality

Verify the communications link between the computer and the signal generator remote file server
using the ping utility. Compare your ping response to those described in "LAN Ping Responses" on
page 39.
For additional information on troubleshooting your LAN connection, refer to "If You Have
NOTE
Problems" on page 38 and to the Help in the Keysight IO Libraries and documentation for
LAN connections and problems.
