Applications with Fixed IP Addresses
On R&S CMW500 instruments equipped with a SUW Signaling Unit (option R&S CMW-
B300) and an "Ethernet Switch H661A" (option R&S CMW-B661A), some applications
require a particular IP address. Disable DHCP and set the "IP Address" for the LAN
RMOTE network adapter as described in section

Provided that a Data Application Unit is installed, this set-
ting is no longer required with firmware versions V2.1.10
and later.

matically during a firmware update to version V1.0.15.20 or later.
Remote control from the UCS calibration system (service feature) requires the IP address
172.29.0.3.

R&S CMW500 from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the measure-
ment is running, the application window is displayed on the remote computer. The soft-
front panel to the right of the R&S CMW500 application window gives access to the basic
utility dialogs (see also
