40 6000 Series Oscilloscope User’s Guide
1Getting Started
To establish a LAN connection (6000L Series)
1Connect a cable from your site Local Area Network (LAN) to
the LAN port on the rear panel of the oscilloscope.
2Switch on the oscilloscope power. When the LAN indicator
illuminates green, the LAN is connected as configured. This
may take a few minutes. The oscilloscope will attempt to
connect to the LAN using DHCP, AutoIP, then Manual, in that
order (when enabled). These connection methods can be
enabled or disabled later using the Configure Network tab in
the web interface.
3Open a web browser and enter the oscilloscope’s hostname in
the address field. The oscilloscope’s Web page will be
displayed.

Hostname

If you do not know the oscilloscope’s hostname you can reset
the hostname as follows:
1Press and release the Reset button (see page 62, 63) on the
front panel of the 6000L Series oscilloscope. This will reset
the hostname to that which is printed on the label near the
oscilloscope’s power cord connection. The following LAN
parameters will be reset:
Hostname
IP address
Domain name
VISA address
Password (see page46.)
NOTE When you connect the oscilloscope to a LAN it is a good practice to limit
access to the oscilloscope by setting a password. By default, the
oscilloscope is not password protected. See page46 to set a password.
