3 Getting Started46 Series E4360 User’s GuideConnecting to a Site LANA site LAN is a local area network in which LAN-enabled instruments andcomputers are connected to the network through routers, hubs, and/orswitches. They are typically large, centrally-managed networks withservices such as DHCP and DNS servers.1 If you have not already done so, install the Keysight IO LibrariesSuite from the Automation-Ready CD that is shipped with yourproduct.2 Connect the instrument to the site LAN. The factory-shippedinstrument LAN settings are configured to automatically obtain an IPaddress from the network using a DHCP server (DHCP is set On).Note that this may take up to one minute. The DHCP server willregister the instrument’s hostname with the dynamic DNS server.The hostname as well as the IP address can then be used tocommunicate with the instrument. The front panel L an indicator willcome on when the LAN port has been configured.NOTE If you need to manually configure any instrument LAN settings, refer to“Configuring the LAN Parameters” later in this chapter for informationabout configuring the LAN settings from the front panel of theinstrument.3 Use the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suiteto add the E4360 SAS and verify a connection. To add theinstrument, you can request the Connection Expert to discover theinstrument. If the instrument cannot be found, add the instrumentusing the instrument’s hostname or IP address.NOTE If this does not work, refer to the chapter on “TroubleshootingGuidelines” in the Keysight Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB InterfacesConnectivity Guide.4 You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert tocommunicate with your instrument, or you can program yourinstrument using the various programming environments. You canalso use the Web browser on your computer to communicate withthe instrument as described under “Using the Web Server” later inthis chapter.
