Confirming the active speed and duplex negotiation
The Series 3700A automatically detects the speed and duplex negotiation active on the LAN. Once
the speed and duplex negotiation is detected, the instrument automatically adjusts its own settings to

To confirm the active LAN speed and duplex mode:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key.
2. Select LAN > STATUS.
3. Use the navigation wheel to select one of the following:
â–ª SPEED
â–ª DUPLEX
4. Press the ENTER key to view the active setting.
5. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the STATUS menu
Confirming port numbers
To view the port number assigned to each remote interface protocol:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > STATUS > PORT.
2. Use the navigation wheel to select one of the following:
â–ª RAW-SOCKET
â–ª TELNET
â–ª VXI-11
â–ª DST
3. Press the ENTER key to view the port number.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the PORT menu.
The following table displays the remote interface protocols supported by the Series 3700A and their
assigned port numbers.
Selecting a LAN interface protocol
This section provides details about how to select a remote interface protocol to connect to the Series
3700A. The Series 3700A provides three LAN interfaces with three associated LAN protocols (each
interface uses a different protocol). Select the interface based on the protocol needed. The dead
socket termination interface (DST) is provided to solve connection problems; it is not a protocol
choice.
