Ethernet LAN Interface
The LAN interface provides a network-based interface between the HP
16500B Logic Analysis System and personal computers and workstations over
a 10Base-T Ethernet LAN. Detailed information on installing and
troubleshooting in the LAN environment is covered in the
HP 16500H LAN
Administrator’s and Service Guide
. The following steps are an overview of
the process with some troubleshooting hints.
1
Connect an EtherTwist 10Base-T LAN cable into the RJ-45 LAN port
on the interface module.
If your LAN uses ThinLAN connections, a Media Access Unit (MAU) is
required.
2
Set up the configuration menus on the HP 16500B mainframe.
You can configure the interface module to work with your network from the
HP 16500B front-panel touchscreen. After the HP 16500B power-up tests are
complete, the Ethernet configuration can be accessed in the Communications
menu.
The interface module automatically obtains the subnet mask by sending a
broadcast ICMP query over the network. The broadcast ICMP query is
transmitted approximately 10 seconds after power is applied to the interface
module and approximately 2 seconds after the IP address is changed. When
the query is answered by another network device, the interface module
stores the information in internal memory.
