Turning off DHCP reduces the time required to fully configure a network connection when the power
supply is turned on. To manually configure the instrument LAN settings, refer to
figuration
3. Use the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite to add the power supply and verify a connection.
To add the instrument, you can request the Connection Expert to discover the instrument. If the instrument cannot
be found, add the instrument using its hostname or IP address.
If this does not work, refer to "Troubleshooting Guidelines" in the Keysight Technologies
USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide included with the Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
4. You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument, or you can pro-
gram your instrument using the various programming environments.
Remote Interface Configuration
The instrument supports remote interface communication over two interfaces: USB and LAN. Both are "live" at
power up.
– USB Interface: Use the rear panel USB port to communicate with your PC. There is no configuration required for
the USB interface. Simply connect the instrument to your PC with a USB cable.
– LAN Interface: Use the rear panel LAN port to communicate with your PC. By default, DHCP is on, which may
enable communication over LAN. The acronym DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol
for assigning dynamic IP addresses to networked devices. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP
address every time it connects to the network.
It is recommended to remove any unused remote interface connection.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite
Ensure that the Keysight IO Libraries Suite is installed before you proceed for the remote interface configuration.
Keysight IO Libraries Suite is a collection of free instrument control software that automatically discovers
instruments and allows you to control instruments over LAN, USB, GPIB, RS-232, and other interfaces. For more
information, or to download IO Libraries, go to www.keysight.com/find/iosuite.
LAN Configuration
The following sections describe the LAN configuration functions on the front panel menu.
