The R&S SGU uses the Zeroconf IP addresses 169.254.xxx.yyy., where
xxx takes values between 1...254 and yyy the values in the value range
1...255; the subnet mask is always 255.255.0.0. The IP address of the host
must be within the same address area for Zeroconf.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish
a physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.
Assigning a static IP address to the R&S SGU
Prerequisites: A connection is established between the R&S SGU and the con-
troller with installed SGMA-GUI.
For how to setup a LAN connection, see Chapter 2.3.2.1, "Connecting the Instru-
ment to the Network" , on page 21.
For how to set up a USB connection, see "Setting up a USB connection from a
PC to the R&S SGU" on page 26.
1. Open "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Setup > Network Settings" dialog.
2. Set the "Address Mode" to "Static".
3. Enter the "IP Address", for example 192.168.0.1. .
4. Enter the "Subnet mask", for example 255.255.255.0 .
5. Enter the "Default Gateway", for example 192.168.0.1 .
Assigning a static IP address to your Windows-PC network card
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the R&S SGU and the IP address
for the local default gateway from your network administrator. If necessary,
also obtain the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS
and WINS servers on your network. If you use more than one LAN connector,
you need separate address information for each connector.
2. Press the "Windows" key to access the operating system.
3. Open the "Control Panel" by selecting "Start > Settings > Control Panel".
4. Select "Network and Sharing Center".
5. In the left panel, click "Change adapter settings".
