Virus protection
An efficient virus protection is a prerequisite for secure operation in a network. Please
notice the following recommendations when using anti-virus software on the R&S
CMW500:
●
To avoid adverse effects on the performance of the instrument, download of signature
files from the internet and hard disk scans must not be performed during the use of
testing capabilities.
●
Real-time virus protection of the hard disk should be disabled during tests.
R&S excludes any liability in respect of the use of anti-virus software on the R&S
CMW500.
2.7.1 Assigning an IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the R&S
CMW500 can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host Con-
figuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned automatically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, or if the tester is set to use alternate TCP/IP
configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
By default, the R&S CMW500 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 R&S CMW500 configuration.
Valid IP addresses
If your network does not support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must assign valid address information before connecting the R&S
CMW500 to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address,
because connection errors can affect the entire network.
2.7.1.1
Manual TCP/IP Configuration
To disable dynamic TCP/IP configuration and enter the TCP/IP address information
manually proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the R&S CMW500 and the IP address
for the local default gateway from your network administrator. If needed, also obtain
the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers
on your network.
