The following procedure describes how to establish a point-to-point (stand alone)
connection to the oscilloscope. This is useful if you want to control the oscilloscope
using a laptop computer or a stand-alone computer.
1 Connect your PC to the oscilloscope using a cross-over LAN cable such as Agilent part
number 5061-0701, available on the web at www.parts.agilent.com.
2 Turn on the oscilloscope power. Wait until the LAN connection is configured:
• Press [Utility]&I/O and wait until the LAN status shows "configured".
• On 6000L Series oscilloscopes, the LAN indicator illuminates green when the LAN
connection is configured.

DHCP servers are not typically present on PCs; in this case, the oscilloscope moves on
to AutoIP. AutoIP uses a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The oscilloscope's IP address
will be in the range 169.254.x.x where the x's are negotiated with the PC on the AutoIP
network. Generally, the oscilloscope will end up at 169.254.254.254; however, this
could be different depending on negotiation during AutoIP.
