IP address assignment
The IP address is assigned automatically by one of the following methods:
●
By default, the R&S
FE50DTR is configured to use DHCP (dynamic host con-
figuration protocol) and no static IP address is configured. If switched on and
connected to the LAN, the R&S
FE50DTR displays the IP address information
on the electronic label with "IP Addr.:". See
Chapter 5.3, "Electronic label"
●
If the network does not use a DHCP server, R&S
FE50DTR obtains and
assigns its IP address via the Auto-IP/Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol.
LAN connection states
On the front panel of the R&S
FE50DTR, the LAN LED indicates the LAN connec-
