2.10.2 Configuration of R&S UPP for Network Operation
The network interface operates with 100-MHz Ethernet IEEE 802.3u. The TCP/IP net-
work protocol and the associated network services are preconfigured.
In order to exchange data in a local network (LAN), each connected computer or
instrument must have a unique IP address or a unique computer name. In addition,
network access of the different users is organized by the assignment of access rights.
The access rights determine which of the available network resources, e.g. file storage
systems, are available for the R&S UPP.
Networks with DHCP
The R&S UPP is preconfigured for networks using DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol). In these networks, the R&S UPP is automatically assigned an unused IP
address.
In this case, a unique computer name is used for identification in the network. Every
R&S UPP is assigned an individual computer name at the factory. This name can be
queried in the Windows menu "Start - My Computer" and changed (see
Chap-
ter 2.10.2.3, "Querying the computer name" , on page 50).
Networks with fixed IP addresses
In networks using fixed IP addresses, the addresses are mostly assigned by the net-
work administrator. The fixed IP address must be entered in the Windows menu "Start -
Control Panel" (see
Chapter 2.10.2.2, "Entering the IP Address" , on page 47).
Point-to-point connections
To set up a simple network – a LAN connection between an R&S UPP and a computer
without integration in a larger network – an IP address must be assigned for the R&S
UPP and the computer. The IP addresses 192.168.xxx.yyy are available, whereby both
xxx and yyy can have the values 1 to 254; the value for the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
In this case, a commercially available crossover RJ-45 cable must be used for the con-
nection. In order to supress electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to use
suitable shielded cables of high quality.
User ID
For the R&S UPP, the user instrument has been defined. The user is used for the
auto login when the instrument is started and for manual remote operation. The pass-
word is also
instrument . By assigning the respective rights, the network administrator
decides which directories and resources in the network can be accessed by the R&S
UPP.
2.10.2.1 Preparations
The instrument is configured for network operation in the menus of the Windows oper-
ating system. The operating system can only be accessed if an external monitor and
