Ethernet LAN Interface

The LAN interface provides a network-based interface between the HP 16500B Logic Analysis System and personal computers and workstations over a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN. Detailed information on installing and troubleshooting in the LAN environment is covered in the HP 16500H LAN Administrator’s and Service Guide. The following steps are an overview of the process with some troubleshooting hints.

1Connect an EtherTwist 10Base-T LAN cable into the RJ-45 LAN port on the interface module.

If your LAN uses ThinLAN connections, a Media Access Unit (MAU) is required.

2Set up the configuration menus on the HP 16500B mainframe.

You can configure the interface module to work with your network from the HP 16500B front-panel touchscreen. After the HP 16500B power-up tests are complete, the Ethernet configuration can be accessed in the Communications menu.

The interface module automatically obtains the subnet mask by sending a broadcast ICMP query over the network. The broadcast ICMP query is transmitted approximately 10 seconds after power is applied to the interface module and approximately 2 seconds after the IP address is changed. When the query is answered by another network device, the interface module stores the information in internal memory.
