Connecting the Instrument to the Network
Risk of network failure/virus infection
Before connecting the R&S
ETL to a network or configuring a network, do the follow-
ing:
●
Consult your network administrator.
●
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
ETL to the LAN.
Errors may affect the entire network.
Efficient virus protection is a prerequisite for secure operation in the network. Never
connect the R&S
ETL to a network without proper protection against a virus infection,
as doing so may cause damage to the R&S
ETL firmware.
To connect the R&S
ETL to a network
1. Fulfill all prerequisites mentioned above.
2. Make sure that the R&S
ETL is switched off. This is the only way to ensure that the
network connection is reliably detected and any disruptions during the operation of
the R&S
ETL are avoided.
3. Connect the R&S
ETL to the network using a CAT-5e cable or better.
4. Switch on the R&S
ETL.
To disconnect the R&S
ETL from a network
1. Make sure that the R&S
ETL is switched off.
2. Disconnect the R&S
ETL from the network.

Connecting the Instrument to a Computer
How to set up a LAN connection between an R&S
ETL and a single computer without
integration into a larger network depends on the operating system installed on the
computer.
