Ethernet Networking
The AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator can be connected to a
network to access hard disk file systems in the remote computers that use Netw ork
File System (NFS) protocol. You can also log into the AWG710&AW G710B
Arbitrary Waveform Generator from the remote compute r to transfer files by using
FTP link software.
You can set up to three remote computers with the AWG710&AWG710B
Arbitrary Waveform Gen er ator a nd mount th eir file systems at the same time. You
select the remote files the same way that yo u select the internal hard disk or floppy
disk.
This subsection describes the following network operations:

Ethernet networking.

Connecting to the

Ethernet

You can connect the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator to a
100/10 BASE–T Ethernet network. T o moun t a remote f ile sys tem or to contr ol the
instrument from an external computer, you must set the fol lowing para meters in the
instrument:
IP address and Subnet Mask for the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator
or
Automatically obtains IP address and other parameters with DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) client function.
Up to three gateway addresses (if necessary )
Figure 3-52 shows the setup screen menu that you can use to set the network
parameters to your AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator.
NOTE. To connect the instrument to the Ethernet, you need to connect the cables
before you power on the instrument.
