The R&S
FSVA/FSV is connected via a LAN, in which case the Windows operat-
ing system also supports a connection via a modem. This section describes the
configuration of the R&S
FSVA/FSV and the Remote Desktop Client of the con-
troller. Details on how to set up a modem connection are described in the Win-
dows documentation.
8.1.1
Configuring the R&S
FSVA/FSV for Remote Operation
To avoid problems, use a fixed IP address.
When a DHCP server is used, a new IP address is assigned each time the
instrument is restarted. This address must first be determined on the instru-
ment itself. Thus, using a DHCP server is not suitable for remote operation
of the R&S
FSVA/FSV via Remote Desktop.
With the factory settings, the default "instrument" user can connect to the
R&S
FSVA/FSV with the Remote Desktop program of the controller imme-
diately. No further configuration is required. However, if the connection fails
or other users need to connect, this section provides basic instructions on
setting up the Remote Desktop for the R&S
FSVA/FSV.
1. Press the "Windows" key on the external keyboard or the CTRL + ESC key
combination on your keyboard to access the operating system.
2. In the Windows "Start" menu, select "Settings > System".
3. Search for "remote access".
4. Select "Allow remote access to your computer".
5. Define which users are to be given access to the R&S
FSVA/FSV via Remote
Desktop.
Note
: The user account under which configuration is carried out is automati-
cally enabled for Remote Desktop.
