Transcript APPS - USB

This application note describes how
to use your networked computer to
directly connect to a Newport zSeries
using a USB port.
 Use an inexpensive USB-to-Ethernet adapter and
connect it to your computer’s USB port. Simply,
follow the instructions to install the adapter’s software
driver on your computer.
 Take a cross-over Ethernet cable and connect one end
of it to the adapter and the other end to your Newport
zSeries. Power the zSeries on and make sure the
“network link” LED is solid green.
 Click on your Windows “Start” menu and select
“Control Panel” from the list of options.
 The Control Panel window will pop up.
 Double-click on “Network Connections” icon.

The “Local Area Connection” icon has all the settings

The “Local Area Connection 2” belongs to your new
USB adapter. Double-click on it.
 Click on “Properties” button.
 Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”
and click on “Properties” button.
 Now, you need to reboot your computer.
 Fill out the fields for the IP address

other remaining windows.
 Once your PC is back up, open your browser and type the zSeries’ default IP address of 192.168.1.200
in the “Address” window of your browser and press Enter key. You will soon be inside the home page of the
zSeries WEB server and from there you can access all the readings and charts.
 Keep in mind that from the same computer you still have full access to your existing LAN just like you had before.
