How to Change the GPIB Instrument Address
In order to operate the instrument via remote control, it must be addressed using the
GPIB address. The remote control address is factory-set to 20, but it can be changed if
it does not fit in the network environment. For remote control, addresses 0 through 30
are allowed. The GPIB address is maintained after a reset of the instrument settings.
Setting the GPIB address
1. On the R&S
ESW, press the [SETUP] key.
2. Press the "N Remote" softkey.
3. In the "N Remote" dialog box, select the "GPIB" tab.
4. In the "GPIB Address" field, enter a value between 0 and 30.
Remote command:
SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 18

How to Operate the Instrument Without a Network
To operate the instrument without a network connection either temporarily or perma-
nently, no special measures are necessary. Microsoft Windows automatically detects
the interruption of the network connection and does not set up the connection when the
instrument is switched on.
If you are not prompted to enter the user name and password, proceed as described in
Chapter 14.5.3.3, "How to Activate or Deactivate the Automatic Login Mechanism"

How to Log on to the Network
Microsoft Windows requires that users identify themselves by entering a user name
and password in a login window. You can set up two types of user accounts, either an
administrator account with unrestricted access to the computer/domain or a standard
user account with limited access. The instrument provides an auto-login function for
the administrator account, i.e. login with unrestricted access is carried out automati-
cally in the background. By default, the user name for the administrator account is
"Instrument", and the user name for the standard user account is "NormalUser". In both
cases the initial password is "894129". You can change the password in Microsoft Win-
dows for any user at any time. Some administrative tasks require administrator rights
(e.g. firmware updates or the configuration of a LAN network).
Refer to
Chapter 13, "General Instrument Setup"
on page 300 to find out which func-
tions are affected.
At the same time you log on to the operating system, you are automatically logged on
to the network. As a prerequisite, the user name and the password must be identical
on the instrument and on the network.
