Refer to
Chapter 6.3, "General Instrument Setup"
on page 125 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.
How to Create Users
After the software for the network has been installed, the instrument issues an error
message the next time it is switched on because there is no user named "instrument"
(= default user ID for Windows automatic login) in the network. Thus, a matching user
must be created in the R&S
FPL1000 and in the network, the password must be adap-
ted to the network password, and the automatic login mechanism must then be deacti-
vated.
The network administrator is responsible for creating new users in the network. A new
user can be created on the instrument using the "User Account" dialog box:
1.
Select the "Windows" icon in the toolbar to access the operating system.
2. In the "Start" menu, select "Control Panel" and then select "User Accounts."
3. Select "Give other users access to this computer" and then "Add".
The "Add New User" dialog box is displayed.
4. Enter the name of the new user in the text field and select "Next".
5. Define the level of access you want to allow the new user:
● Select "Standard" to create an account with limited rights.
● Select "Administrator" to create an account with administrator rights.
Note:
Full firmware functionality requires administrator rights.
6. Select the "Finish" button.
The new user is created.
How to Change the User Password
After the new user has been created on the instrument, the password must be adapted
to the network password. This is also done using the "User Accounts" dialog box.
1.
Select the "Windows" icon in the toolbar to access the operating system.
2. Press CTRL
+
ALT +
DELETE, then select "Change a password".
3. Enter the user account name.
4. Enter the old password.
