LAN speeds
Another characteristic of the LAN is speed. The Series 3700A negotiates with the host computer and
other LXI-compliant devices on the LAN to transmit data at the highest speed possible. LAN speeds
must be configured to match the speed of the other instruments on the network.
To set the LAN speed:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key and select LAN > CONFIG > SPEED.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the previous menu.
5. Select APPLY > YES, and then press the ENTER key.
Duplex mode

• Half-duplex: Allows communications in both directions, but only one direction is active at a time
(not simultaneously).
• Full: Permits communications in both directions simultaneously.
To set the duplex mode:
1. From the front panel, press MENU key and select LAN > CONFIG > DUPLEX.
2. Turn the navigation wheel to select either HALF or FULL.
3. Press the ENTER key.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the LAN CONFIG menu.
