Troubleshooting the LAN Interconnection 

Software does not install properly 

 

Make sure your memory stick is not damaged. 
 

Software cannot detect any instrument  

 

Make sure you have connected both computer and instrument to a common network.  

 

If a direct connection is used you may require to reset your computer Ethernet controller (depending 
on the configuration).  Note that in that case detection of the instrument can take a considerable 
amount of time if your computer is configured to work with an external DHCP server. In some cases 
the detection may even fail completely. Configure your computer network controller to an 
appropriate fixed IP instead.   

 

Make sure that your software firewall enables the GUI to setup a TCP/IP connection via the LAN. 
Under Windows 7/10 you can do that like this:  
Open

 Control Panel

 under 

Settings

 in your 

Start

 menu. Then go to 

Windows Firewall

. Click on

 

Exceptions

 and then

 add Program.

 If the GUI is in this list, choose it and click

 OK

 otherwise you have 

to browse for the path to GUI installation directory. Finally close all open dialogs with

 OK

. Now your 

Windows™ Firewall will not block requests from the GUI. 

Shutting Down the Signal Generator 

Press the line on/off switch on the rear panel to off. 

Replacing the Fuse 

The 2URM case has a fuse, accessible from the outside. To change the fuse, pull out the mains plug and pull 
the fuse holder out. Replace the old fuse with a new one. It is forbidden to repair defect fuses or to bridge 
them by any means. Use only a fuse with same specifications.
