By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration
and obtain all address information automatically.
Setting up a dedicated network connection
If your network does not support DHCP, you can set a dedicated network connec-
tion between a stand-alone PC and a R&S
SGU
Prerequisite: the computer and the R&S
SGU are turned on and running.
1. Start the R&S SGMA-GUI.
2. Connect the computer and the R&S
SGU with a LAN network cable.
3. Wait for about one minute for the automatic assignment of IP addresses to
complete.
4. R&S SGMA-GUI main panel, select "Setup > Instruments".
5. In the "Configure Instruments" dialog, click "Scan".
The new instrument should appear with a Zeroconf IP address 169.254.xx.yy
6. Assign a static IP address to the instrument, see
7. Assign a static IP address to the PC, see
"Assigning a static IP address to
8. Edit the instrument settings in the "Edit Instrument" dialog ("SGMA-GUI >
Setup > Instruments > Instrument> Edit").
2.3.2.2
Assigning the IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the
instrument can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned auto-
matically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP
address via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if
the instrument is set to use alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses
must be set manually, see
"Setting up a dedicated network connection"
