LXI-C Supported Features

The LXI Standard (LAN eXtensions for Instruments) is an open, accessible standard that identifies module-to-module communication, drivers, instrument web interface, and ethernet protocol for test and measurement instruments that conform to the standard.

The PXB MIMO Tester Receiver is an LXI-C compliant instrument as defined by the LXI Consortium Standard, Revision 1.2. Click System > Product Information in the menu bar of the PXB to view the supported Closed LXI-C information.

Web Interface

The PXB provides a web interface to access HTML web pages that allow you to view and configure LXI and LAN data for the instrument as specified by the LXI standard.

Using a web browser, enter the URL: http:// <PXB's instrument name or IP address>. The graphic below shows the web address using the instrument name.

The browser displays the Closed Welcome page for the PXB with the navigation bar on the left.

Web Server Navigation Buttons

	The Welcome page provides information such as the hostname, model name, serial number, TCP/IP port, and GPIB address of your instrument.
	View & Modify Configuration displays a web page that allows you to modify some of the instrument’s network settings.

Welcome Page

When "Turn on Front Panel Identification Indicator" is activated, the LXI indicator on the PXB blinks green and white to indicate that a discovery operation is in effect, which makes it easier to identify the instrument among a rack full of devices.

View & Modify Configuration

The View & Modify button accesses a Closed web page that displays the LAN information for the instrument as currently connected.

Modify Configuration

When you click the Modify Configuration button at the top of the web page, a Closed password entry dialog box appears to control access to the settings. The default web password is: agilent.

After successful password entry, a web page is displayed where you can manually enter all the LAN configuration items as specified in the LXI standard.
- Apply makes all changes take effect; however, the instrument must be restarted for the networking to recognize the changed LAN configuration.
- Undo Changes reverts to the entries as set prior to selecting Apply.
- LAN Reset restores the default settings: Automatic IP Address and DNS Service Address Configuration, mDNS enabled, and password: agilent.
- Factory Defaults restores the LAN settings to their factory defaults as listed above including the instrument hostname and description.
To change the Web password, use the password controls at the bottom of the web page.

Browser Compatibility

The Web Server service is compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer (6.0 or later) web browser and operating systems Windows 2000, Windows XP, and later.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing problems with the web page functionality, verify that the pop-up blocker is turned off on your web browser and that Javascript/Active Scripting is enabled.
