The actual LAN configuration can be read out from the OSP by the following SCPI
command:
SYSTem:NETWork:MODe?
2.9.1.1 Default mode of LAN Configuration
The actual LAN configuration is set to mode -> DHCP_AUTO
Depending on the network capacities, the IP address information for the R&S OSP120
or R&S OSP130 can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned
automatically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, or if the instrument is set to use alternate
TCP/IP configuration, a static IP address is used.
By default, the R&S OSP is configured either to use:
●
A dynamic TCP/IP configuration and obtain all address information automatically.
This means that it is safe to establish a physical connection to the LAN without
any previous R&S OSP configuration.
(Priority 1)
●
A user defined static IP address. This address can be defined (but must not) in
addition to the default address. See
chapter 3.3.3
for information how to configure
the user defined IP address via the OSP Panel application.
(Priority 2)
●
A static default IP address. Per default, the R&S OSP is set to the IP address
192.168.48.147. See also
chapter 3.1
(Priority 3)
Please note the priorities shown above which is related to IP address handling done by
the OSP.
Valid IP addresses
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 OSP to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address,
because connection errors can affect the entire network.
Reading the IP address
When using the dynamic TCP/IP configuration, the actual IP address information will
be displayed when booting the R&S OSP. Proceed as follows:
Connect the R&S OSP via a commercial RJ-45 cable to your network supporting
DHCP
