Figure 2-3. Typical Private LAN Network Connections.
When making a direct connection between the L4400 instrument and the
PC, use the LAN crossover cable provided with the instrument. Note, if
your computer supports Auto- MDIX or contains a LAN card with gigabit
data transfer rates, the crossover cable is not required. A standard LAN
cable can be used instead. For private LAN networks that include a switch
or router, use standard LAN cables for network connections. Do not use
the crossover cable.
Once the LAN cables are connected, you can turn on the L4400
instrument(s).
