An IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the computer, see
Chapter 3.6.2, "Assigning the IP Address"
Note:
As the R&S
FSVA/FSV uses a 1 GBit LAN, a crossover cable is not
necessary (due to Auto-MDI(X) functionality).
Risk of network failure
Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network,
consult your network administrator. Errors may affect the entire network.
► To establish a non-dedicated network connection, connect a commercial
RJ-45 cable to one of the LAN ports.
To establish a dedicated connection, connect a (crossover) RJ-45 cable
between the instrument and a single PC.
If the instrument is connected to the LAN, Windows automatically detects the net-
work connection and activates the required drivers.
The network card can be operated with a 1 GBit Ethernet IEEE 802.3u interface.
3.6.2
Assigning the IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the
instrument 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 auto-
matically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, or if the instrument is set to use alter-
nate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
By default, the instrument is configured to use 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 instrument configuration.
