Figure 2-3. Typical Private LAN Network Connections.

When making a direct connection between the L4400 instrument and the PC, use the yellow LAN crossover cable provided with the instrument. Note, if your computer supports Auto- MDIX or contains a LAN card with gigabit data transfer rates, the (yellow) crossover cable is not required. A standard LAN cable can be used instead. For private LAN networks that include a switch or router, use standard LAN cables for network connections. Do not use the crossover cable.

Once the LAN cables are connected, you can turn on the L4400 instrument(s).
