How do I establish a peer-to-peer connection between my PC and an InfiniiVision 5000/6000/7000 Series oscilloscope?Answer
There are two methods:
Method 1:
- Connect the crossover LAN cable between your oscilloscope and PC.
- On the oscilloscope, proceed to Utility > I/O > Configure, and select LAN.
- Select LAN Settings > Config, and make sure all IP Configuration Options are turned off.
- Click Apply, and the oscilloscope will update the configuration.
For example:
IP – 169.254.254.254
Subnet – 255.255.248.0
Gateway – 169.254.254.254 - Go to your Network Connections at your computer.
- Right-click Local Area Network > Properties.
- Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) & click on Properties.
- Check “Use Following IP Address”, and key in all three settings for IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway.
- Change the last octet in the IP address (using a number from 0 to 255) shown in the oscilloscope earlier. Enter the same address for both Subnet and Gateway in your PC.
For example:
IP – 169.254.254.253
Subnet – 255.255.248.0
Gateway – 169.254.254.254
Note: Do not enter the same IP address shown in the oscilloscope. - Then, click OK. The instrument is connected now, and the instrument’s web interface may be used.
