Firewall Settings
By default, the Windows Firewall is activated to protect the R&S
ETL from an attack of
hostile users and programs. The Windows Firewall suppresses all network communi-
cation which is not initialized by the R&S
ETL itself or which is not defined as an
exception.
To enable data transfer or to allow access to the R&S
ETL, define exceptions. For
details, refer to the Windows documentation or contact your network administrator for
support.
