With Windows 7, Remote Desktop Client is part of the operating system. For
other versions of Windows, Microsoft offers the Remote Desktop Client as an
add-on.
This section provides basic instructions on setting up the Remote Desktop for the
R&S
FPS. For details refer to the Windows 7 operating system documentation.
5.6.1 How to Configure the R&S FPS for Remote Operation via
Remote Desktop
By default, the R&S FPS is configured to allow Remote Desktop access by
any user (except for the "SecureUser", see Chapter 5.6.5, "How to Add or
Remove Users to the Remote Desktop Users Group" , on page 77), and to
use a fixed IP address.
To change the settings for remote operation, you must connect an external moni-
tor, mouse and keyboard, or connect a controller PC and set up a Remote Desk-
top connection with the default settings as described in
Chapter 5.6.3, "How to
Start and Close the Remote Desktop" , on page 74.
To change the settings for Remote Desktop access
To avoid problems, use a fixed IP address (see Chapter 5.2.2, "How to
Assign the IP Address" , on page 59).
When a DHCP server is used, a new IP address is assigned each time the
instrument is restarted. This address must first be determined on the instru-
ment itself. Thus, using a DHCP server is not suitable for remote operation
of the R&S
FPS via Remote Desktop.
