The instrument provides basic SCPI I/O via a telnet port. The default port is 5024. The ability to change the port to 5023 is provided.
NOTE: changing the SCPI Telnet Port requires restarting the instrument application for the change to take effect.

|
Preset |
Not reset by Preset, set to 5024 with Restore System Settings to Defaults. |
The Local Area Network (LAN) configuration can be selected as Auto or Manual. In Auto, the network assigns the IP address for the instrument using DHCP or Auto-IP. In manual mode, you provide the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.
