To set up a network Ethernet connection
1. Connect the R&S NRQ6 to the network or to a single computer.
By default, the R&S NRQ6 is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration
(DHCP) and to obtain the address information automatically.
If both LAN status LEDs are illuminated in green color, the R&S
NRQ6 is cor-
rectly connected to the network.
Note: Establishing a connection can take up to 2 minutes per device.
2. If the LAN status LEDs show another state, no connection is possible. For
possible solutions, see:

4.6.1.5 Using Hostnames
In a LAN that uses a domain name system (DNS) server, you can address each
computer or instrument connected in the LAN using its unique hostname instead
of the IP address. The DNS server translates the hostname into the IP address.
This is especially useful when using a DHCP server, as a new IP address can be
assigned each time the instrument is restarted.
The R&S NRQ6 is delivered with a default hostname that you can change.
Default hostname
The default hostname follows the syntax:
<device name>-<serial number>
, where:
●
<device name>
is the short name of your R&S NRQ6.
For example, the
<device name>
of an R&S NRQ6 is
nrq6
.
●
<serial number>
is the individual serial number of the R&S NRQ6. The
serial number is printed on the bar code sticker at the rear side of the
R&S
NRQ6. It is the third part of the device ID:
ID: 1421.3509K02 - 101441 - Zd
