Agilent E5810A LAN/GPIB
Gateway
Features
• Remote access and control of
GPIB instruments via the LAN
• Easy setup and use via digital
display and Web browser
Best for
• Connection to remote GPIB and
RS-232 instrumentation
• Shared test systems
Remote access and collaboration
with GPIB instruments via your LAN
The E5810A can use DHCP, if available, to automatically configure necessary network parameters, including its IP address. The gateway can
be controlled from multiple locations
and by multiple users via your LAN,
so it is easy to share control of
instruments from locations worldwide.
For easy remote access enter the IP
address from the digital display as
the URL in your Web browser and
gain access to connected GPIB and
RS-232 instruments. Then use your
browser to send instrument commands interactively and quickly see
your measurement results. Use the
digital display and LEDs to check
the IP address and troubleshoot
locally.
For programming capability you
have access with the latest version
of IO Libraries Suite, version 14.2,
to program in all standard development environments.
System use
For system environments, the
E5810A gateway can be rack
mounted. The rack mount kit
(Option 100) allows two devices to
be placed side-by-side in one rack
width. With its built-in power supply, there are no additional power
modules to mount.

connections
Add four serial ports in minutes
The Agilent E5805A USB/4-port
RS232 interface provides a direct
connection from the USB port on
your notebook or desktop PC to up
to four RS-232 instruments or
devices. There are no switches to
set, no PC cards to install, and no
external power supplies are
required. Simply install the driver
and plug in the E5805A USB 4-port
RS232 interface to add four RS-232
ports to your computer.
Since the E5805A is a standard
Plug-and-Play device, your comput-
er automatically detects and config-
ures it when it is connected to
your computer USB port. You can
interface up to four devices, with
baud rates up to 230 Kb/s per seri-
al port. The E5805A provides four
DB9 serial connectors and ships
with a 1.8-meter USB cable.
Agilent E5813A Networked
5-Port USB Hub
Features
• Interface a variety of GPIB, RS-
232, and USB devices to complete
your test system
