This function is useful to identify which PAV you are controlling when there are several PAVs
mounted in the rack. If the PAVs are connected in a multi-drop configuration, only the LED of
the PAV with LAN (master unit) blinks.

Network connection using a server
This is the typical network connection. A LAN is operated with a server under the management of network administrators. The server assigns an IP address and other LAN parameters
to the PAV.
or a fixed IP address to the PAV.
P2P (peer-to-peer) network connection
This is a connection where the PAV and the PC are connected directly. The PC only connects
to the PAV, not to any other network.
In the factory default setting, the PAV automatically assigns its own IP address and other LAN
parameters. To return to the default settings, perform a LAN reset (p.14). In addition, if the PC
is configured for automatic IP address assignment, the PAV assigns an IP address to the PC.
For details on IP addresses, see “Displaying and changing the IP address.” (p.11).
The PC is not connected to another network.

LAN configuration2. Network Connection
Control functions that can be used simultaneously with LAN
On a PAV with LAN, you can use local mode and external control simultaneously with LAN.
However, LAN cannot be used simultaneously with serial communication (USB/RS232/
RS485) remote mode. For the serial communication setup procedure, see the USB/RS232/
RS485 communication interface manual.
Local mode (front panel setup)
Even when connected to LAN, the PAV can be configured using the front panel knobs and
keys.
Switching to local mode
When the PAV is in LAN remote mode, the front panel REM LED is lit. Press REM to turn off
the REM LED and switch to local mode.
If the PAV does not switch to local mode even when you press REM, perform one of the following procedures.
Procedure (switching to local mode)Description
• Stop sending commands.
Press REM.
• SYSTem:REMote[:STAte] LOC/0
Send this command.
• Turn the POWER switch off and then back
on.
Press REM.
If the PAV continuously receives configuration change commands through LAN, the
PAV switches to remote mode each time it
receives a command.
The PAV may be set to local lockout mode
through LAN.
External control
Even when connected to LAN, you can control and monitor the PAV series using external
analog signals through the PAV’s J1 and J3 connectors.

LAN Connection
Starting a connection
A PAV with LAN automatically determines whether a network connection is available. Then, it
automatically detects a network server and receives an IP address assignment or assigns an
IP address to itself. Further, it sends its IP address and host name to other devices in the network.
You can connect the LAN cable regardless of whether the PAV is turned on or off.
Turn the POWER switch on.
1
The front panel voltmeter displays “LAn” for about 2 seconds. Then, the PAV proceeds as follows.
In safe start mode, “OFF” is displayed.
In auto start mode, the output is in the state that it was in immediately before the AC
input was turned off.
In a typical network (network server) connection
When the PAV rear panel LAN status indicator LED lights green about 10 seconds
later, the connection is complete.
In a P2P (peer-to-peer) network
When the PAV rear panel LAN status indicator LED lights green about 30 to 40 seconds later, the connection is complete.
When the PAV obtains an IP address, the LAN status indicator LED lights green.
You can check the IP address on the front panel.
If the LAN status indicator LED does not light green, see “Troubleshooting” (p.35).
Displaying and changing the IP address.
Displaying the IP address

LAN Connection2. Network Connection
Changing the IP address
You can change all four numbers (octets) of the IP address from the front panel. An IP
address has four numbers (e.g., 10.97.4.4). Set each number in the range of 1 to 254.
Turn the CURRENT knob.
5
You can change the IP address.
Press the CURRENT knob.
6
The IP address is confirmed.
The voltmeter shows “LAn”, and the ammeter shows “HOLd” for about 1 second.
If the address that you want to assign is already used by another device, the front
panel LED blinks, and the address returns to the original value.
Press any key to stop the blinking.
• If you change the IP address from the front panel or by performing the procedure on the
Modify page on the Configure tab of the LAN page on the webpage, the PAV’s IP address
becomes static (fixed).
• In this case, address assignment through DHCP and auto IP are invalid.
IP address explained
Network connection is possible by assigning an IP address to the PAV. An IP address is a
group of four numbers delimited by periods. The following three modes are available for IP
address assignment: DHCP, auto IP, and static (fixed) IP.

2. Network ConnectionLAN Connection
Checking the host name
A host name is a text address used in place of a numerical address (e.g., PAV60-7-678).
You cannot view the host name from the PAV front panel. You can view and create a host
name from the webpage. (p.28)
For example, if you set the host name to “KIKUSUI,” you can send commands also to “KIKUSUI.”
After a LAN reset (p.14), the PAV is automatically assigned with a host name made up of a
combination of the model name and serial number.
Example:
Model nameSerial number
PAV10-40 WITH LANVJ000123PAV10-40-123
PAV160-2.6 WITH LAN
1<model><rated voltage>–<rated current>–<last three digits of the serial number>
The handling of the host name varies depending on the network connection. See the following table. When using host names for communication, assign unique host names to each
PAV.
