The test set's local area network (LAN) connection can be used to dump the currently-displayed screen image into a personal computer's web browser. The computer must either be connected to an existing LAN or have a LAN adapter installed that can be connected directly to the test set.
The computer used to capture screen images from the test set must meet the following requirements:
The test set's LAN connection can be made at either the rear-panel LAN PORT or at the front-panel DATA port. When using the DATA port, be sure to have the factory supplied jumper cable installed between the rear-panel LAN PORT and the ETHERNET TO FRONT PANEL port.
Connections from the test set to the computer must be made using the correct type of LAN cable:

Perform this operation only if you were not successful in downloading the test set screen image into your browser.

Request Timed Out
" is displayed instead of a reply from the test set, try entering the command again. If the request times out again, your LAN connections are incorrect and/or your LAN settings for the two devices do not match. If your web browser did not display the test set's screen, or you could not "ping" your test set from your browser, refer to the following information to find the cause and fix the problem.
If the test set's image is still not displayed on your web browser, and the ping command still indicates that the test set is not communicating with the computer, you need to verify that the LAN settings for the computer and the test set are compatible. The following sections provide general guidelines in getting the LAN settings configured for both instruments to communicate with each other.
Perform the configuration in the following order:
Network configuration procedures vary between operating systems. You may have to refer to your computer's help system, or your LAN adapter card's documentation, for assistance.
Perform the following steps to alter the network settings for most PCs using a Microsoft Windows operating system.
