How to Set Up Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop is a Windows application which can be used to access and control
the instrument from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the instru-
ment is in operation, the instrument screen contents are displayed on the remote com-
puter, and Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications, files, and net-
work resources of the instrument. Thus, remote operation of the R&S

 

FSPN is possi-

ble.

With Microsoft Windows, Remote Desktop Client is part of the operating system. For
other versions of Windows, Microsoft offers the Remote Desktop Client as an add-on.
For details refer to the Microsoft Windows operating system documentation.

With the factory settings, the default "instrument" user can connect to the R&S

 

FSPN

with the Remote Desktop program of the controller immediately. No further configura-
tion is required. However, if the connection fails or other users need to connect, this
