KIKUSUI Electronics Corp. PCR-MA Interface Manual
LAN
To use the LAN interface to control the PCR-MA, middleware that supports the VXI-
11/ HiSLIP/ SCPI-RAW protocol must be installed on the controller. The middleware
is installed automatically by the VISA library.
There is a Web browser interface to the PCR-MA embedded in the LAN interface
board. You can congure the LAN interface settings from your PC's Web browser.
For information on topics such as connecting to your corporate LAN, your IP address,
your host name, and security, contact your network administrator.
If you are using a host name (a Bonjour host name), you have to install Apple Bon-
jour.
■LAN connection
Use a standard LAN cable (category 5 and straight) to connect the PCR-MA to a
network hub or router. Use a crossover cable when making a direct connection.
WARNING
If a network problem occurs, an unexpected dangerous voltage may oc-
cur that may cause electric shock, re, physical damage to the DUT, and
so on. If you are going to remotely control the PCR-MA from a distance,
install a Web camera or take other measures to monitor the status.
