Risk of network connection failure

Network cables and cable connectors of poor quality, or failures in the auto-
negotiation process, can cause network connection failures.
If the network connection to the instrument fails, check the network infra-
structure and contact your network administrator.
For details, see section "Troubleshooting and Error Messages" in the
R&S

SMW user manual.
