Using the web interface
The 2450 web interface allows you to make settings and control your instrument through a web page.
The web page includes:
• Instrument status.
• The instrument model, serial number, firmware revision, and the last LXI message.
• An ID button to help you locate the instrument.
• A virtual front panel and command interface that you can use to control the instrument.
• Ability to download data from specific reading buffers into a CSV file.
• Administrative options and LXI information.
The instrument web page resides in the firmware of the instrument. Changes you make through the
web interface are immediately made in the instrument.
Connect to the instrument web interface
When the LAN and instrument establish a connection, you can open the web page for the instrument.
To access the web interface:
1. Open a web browser on the host computer.
2. Enter the IP address of the instrument in the address box of the web browser. For example, if the
instrument IP address is 192.168.1.101, enter 192.168.1.101 in the browser address box.
3. Press Enter on the computer keyboard to open the instrument web page.
4. If prompted, enter a user name and password. The default is admin for both.
LAN troubleshooting suggestions
If you are unable to connect to the web interface of the instrument, check the following items:
• The network cable is in the LAN port on the rear panel of the instrument, not one of the
TSP-Link
®

• The network cable is in the correct port on the computer. The LAN port of a laptop may be
disabled when the laptop is in a docking station.
• The setup procedure used the configuration information for the correct ethernet card.
• The network card of the computer is enabled.
• The IP address of the instrument is compatible with the IP address on the computer.
