Instrumentation connection to enterprise routers or servers
This connection uses an existing network infrastructure to connect instruments to the computer
controller. In this case, you must get the network resources from the network administrator.
Usually, the instruments are kept inside the corporate firewall, but the network administrator could
assign resources that allow them to be outside the firewall. This would allow instruments to be
connected to the Internet using appropriate security methods. Thus, data collection and distribution
could be controlled from virtually any location.

Set up LAN communications on the instrument
This section describes how to set up manual or automatic LAN communications on the instrument.
Check communication settings
Before setting up the LAN configuration, you can check the communication settings on the instrument
without making any changes.
To check communication settings on the instrument:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under System, select Communication. The SYSTEM COMMUNICATION window opens.
3. Select one of the four tabs (GPIB, USB, LAN, or TSP-Link) to see the settings for that interface.
4. Press the EXIT key to leave the SYSTEM COMMUNICATION window without making any
changes.
If you are using a Model 2450 with no front panel, you can check the settings with the SCPI
command :SYSTem:COMMunication:LAN:CONFigure (on page 6-97) or the TSP command
lan.ipconfig() (on page 8-66).
