LXI ("LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation" is an instrumentation platform for measuring instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technology. LXI is intended to be the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the advantages of Ethernet with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB.
Like GPIB, LXI determines and standardizes the way the instrument behaves in a LAN. The LXI implementation by the Rohde&Schwarz signal generators allows you to change certain LAN settings, to reset the LAN connection as well as to identify the instrument easily.

The R&S SMA provides an integrated "LXI Status" dialog for LXI status indication and reset of the LAN configuration ("LAN Configuration Initialize", LCI). To access the LXI status dialog, press the SETUP key and select "Remote > LXI Status".
For further information, see "LXI Status".
According to the LXI standard, an LCI must set the following parameters to a default state.
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
TCP/IP Mode | DHCP + Auto IP Address |
Dynamic DNS | Enabled |
ICMP Ping | Enabled |
Password for LAN configuration | LxiWebIfc |
The LCI for the R&S SMA also resets the following parameters:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Hostname | <Instrument-specific host name> |
Description | Vector Signal Generator |
Negotiation | Auto Detect |
VXI-11 Discovery | Enabled |
The LAN settings are configured using the instrument's "LXI Browser Interface".
