Introduction to the LXI Standard

This section is meant only as a brief summary of some of the
features of LXI. For a more complete description of LXI please
refer to the

LXI Consortium Home Page

. The authoritative

description of LXI is the

LXI standard

.

VXI Discovery

LXI devices are required to conform to the

VXI 11

discovery

protocol. The AMETEK LXI Discovery Browser uses this
discovery protocol to locate LXI compliant devices on the network.
This makes communicating with devices and locating their
addresses simpler.

LAN Requirements

LXI mandates many useful LAN requirements

Dynamically
Configured Link
Local
Addressing

If there is no DHCP server available, the unit will use the Dynamically
Configured Link Local Addressing protocol to assign itself a link local
address. This is useful for cases when a network is down or unavailable
but the user still wants to connect to the power supply.

DHCP

The unit can obtain a dynamic address using the DHCP protocol

Static IP

The unit can be given a static IP

Web Page

Must be

W3C

compliant

This ensures that the pages will display correctly on all W3C
compliant Web browsers

Must have a homepage
which displays
manufacturer, serial
number, IP address, etc

This ensures all LXI compliant devices have a similar look and
feel to their Web pages

Device Identification
Function

A Web page button that causes an LED to flash on the power
supply. This makes determining which power supply a user is
communicating with simpler.

LAN configuration page

This page allows for changing the values of LAN parameters
like IP address, Gateway, Subnet Mask, etc
