AgilentInstallation for IFD™ TE Rack-Mount variants
Ø Supported Devices Agilent: 34410A, 34411A, L4411A
Pre2016 systems, it is likely that the Agilent (now owned by Keysight) is installed as the DMM of choice to provide DMM support that the 34410A is selected.
![]() Connecting Device
Use the connection shown below for the various Agilent devices:
All IFD™ continuity based tests need the 34410A to be connected using either a cross-over Ethernet cable or pass-through Ethernet cable to connect to the LAN of the CC.
NODES™ can carry out basic point2point continuity tests and supported Agilent devices can be connected using a number of methods by either using Ethernet peer to peer (ie using cross-over), on a LAN as resource or by USB; note to use the appropriate connection string for LAN and USB in the DMM Options.
Connection to the IFD™ TE is via the BNC or high-quality LEMO provided on the rack-mounted equipment, to the front or the rear panel of the Agilent.
![]() Basic Settings
Ø The Agilent's settings can be carried out using the keys on the front panel.

Or use the Factory Defaults button to reset to these settings.
![]() Factory default connection string for a Agilent 34410a is "eg TCPIPO::169.254.4.10::inst0::INSTR"
![]() To avoid possible damage to the IFD™ TE
or the equipment under test, follow these guidelines:
· Do not use this equipment on any “powered” circuits. The IFD™ TE supplies the entire electronic testing stimulus needed. Failure to do so could damage the equipment and void the factory warranty.
· Do not connect the IFD™ TE system to any additional test equipment that produces stimulated High Voltages or Currents that might damage the IFD™ hardware, and this will include insulation tests and it may include some Diode testing; if unsure then contact your Distributor for more information before proceeding.
