How to Troubleshoot Connectivity Problems on the Network

The Synthetic Instrument Finder program is used to find instruments on a network when

the N8211A/N8212A is connected through a company LAN router or cross-over cable.

There are three possible configurations:

• connecting the PC through a company wide site LAN connection to the

N8211A/N8212A

• connecting the PC to the same private LAN network as the instrument

• connecting the PC directly to the instrument using a cross-over cable - this would

typically be used for troubleshooting and is not normally used to control an instrument

directly
