# Configuring SCPI

To enable the VSA's SCPI interface, select the Utilities > SCPI Configuration... item from the main menu of the 89600 VSA application to start the VSA SCPI Configuration tool, which is shown below:

Select the desired channel (LAN Telnet or LAN Socket) to enable the SCPI listener. Optionally, select the Enable SCPI on startup check box to start the SCPI interface each time the computer restarts. Select OK and the SCPI interface will be ready to use.

You will need to launch the 89600 VSA software and start the SCPI interface manually each time you restart your computer if you do not select the Enable SCPI on startup check box in the VSA SCPI Configuration tool.

The instrument VISA address (shown in the VSA SCPI Configuration tool above) uses the computer's hostname (2UA1010LDY in this case), but you can instead use the hosting computer's IP address when connecting to the SCPI interface from another computer.

The LAN Socket connection does not support the IPV6 protocol. If your hostname resolves to an IPV6 IP address, you will need to use your IPV4 IP address in place of the hostname when specifying the VISA Address when you connect to the SCPI interface.
