Transition to the "local" state (manual control).
GTR (Go to Remote)
Transition to the "remote" state (remote control).

GPIB Instrument Address
In order to operate the instrument via remote control, it must be addressed using the
GPIB address. The remote control address is factory preset, but it can be changed if it
does not fit in the network environment. For remote control, addresses 0 through 30
are allowed. The GPIB address is maintained after a reset of the instrument settings.
Changing the GPIB address of the instrument
The GPIB address can be changed manually or using a remote control command.
1. Manually: press the SETUP key.
2. Select "Remote > GPIB".
3. Enter the GPIB address.
4. Remotely: use the remote control command:
SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 18
6.1.7 LXI Browser Interface
LAN extension for instrumentation (LXI) is an instrumentation platform for measuring
instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technology, see also
Chapter 2.8, "LXI Configuration"
The LXI browser interface allows easy configuration of the LAN and remote control of
the R&S
SMB without additional installation requirements. The instrument's LXI
browser interface works correctly with all W3C compliant browsers.
The LAN settings are configured using the LXI Browser Interface of the R&S
SMB
Chapter 2.8.2, "LAN Configuration"
on page 47. The LXI status settings in
the R&S
SMB are described in
Chapter 5.2.3.16, "LXI Status"
