Networks with fixed IP addresses
In networks using fixed IP addresses, the addresses are mostly assigned by the net-
work administrator. The fixed IP address must be entered in the Windows menu "Start
- Control Panel" (see
chapter 2.10.2.2, "Entering the IP Address"
Point-to-point connections
To set up a simple network – a LAN connection between an R&S UPV and a computer
without integration in a larger network – an IP address must be assigned for the R&S
UPV and the computer. The IP addresses 192.168.xxx.yyy are available, whereby both
xxx and yyy can have the values 1 to 254; the value for the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
In this case, a commercially available crossover RJ-45 cable must be used for the con-
nection. In order to supress electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to use
suitable shielded cables of high quality.
User ID
For the R&S UPV, the user
instrument
has been defined. The user is used for the
auto login when the instrument is started and for manual remote operation. The pass-
word is also
instrument
. By assigning the respective rights, the network administrator
decides which directories and resources in the network can be accessed by the R&S
UPV.
2.10.2.1
Preparations
The instrument is configured for network operation in the menus of the Windows oper-
ating system. The operating system can only be accessed if an external keyboard is
connected; connection of a mouse is recommended for easy operation. The instrument
should be switched off before the keyboard and mouse are connected. This will ensure
that the keyboard and mouse are correctly detected by the operating system.

Entering the IP Address
By default, "Obtain an IP address automatically " (DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) is preset.
