Password
[E5810]

E5810 configuration and instrument control pages are password-
protected against changes. To change from the default password (or any
password) to a new one, enter the current (old) password in the

Configured Value

column and enter the new password in both boxes in

the

Edit Configuration

column of the

Configuring your E5810 LAN/GPIB

Gateway

page. The default password is “E5810”.

You do not need to use a password for SICL or VISA programs with the
E5810 interface. This administrative password is not for security
purposes and will not prevent unauthorized personnel from using the
E5810. The password will only prevent inadvertent changes to the E5810
interface settings or control of instruments attached to the E5810. It is not
intended to provide a strong level of security for either the interface or the
attached network.

RS-232 Baud Rate
[9600]

Number of bits per second that are transmitted. Available baud rates for
the E5810 are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and
115200. The RS-232 baud rate is the speed of data transmission and
reception on the RS-232 interface. The baud rate value is dependent on
the peripheral device you connect to the RS-232 port. Check the
documentation for your peripheral device to set this value.

RS-232 Bits
[8]

The number of bits that comprise a byte of data. Available number of bits
options are 5, 6, 7, or 8. This is the number of data bits in a character
frame in RS-232 serial data transmission. The value is dependent on the
peripheral device you connect to the RS-232 port. Check the
documentation for your peripheral device to set this value. Available
number of bits options for the E5810 are 5, 6, 7, or 8.

RS-232 Flow
Control
[NONE]

Flow control is the protocol used to pace data transmission over the
RS-232 serial connection. The flow control value is dependent on the
peripheral device you connect to the RS-232 port. Check the
documentation for your peripheral device to set this value. Available flow
control mechanisms for the E5810 are NONE, XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS,
and DTR/DSR.
