is possible via a memory stick connected to a USB interface. The memory stick and the
flash memory are accessed via the "File Manager".
Accsessing the File System
The instrument also supports two standard methods to access the file system form a
remote client:
●
FTP (file transfer protocol)
●
File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol.
Both methods allow the access to the folder
/var/user/share
.
Default password
The FTP and SAMBA file access use the user "instrument" with default password "instru-
ment".
In is highly recomended to change this password in the
Setup > Security > Change User
dialog before connecting the instrument to the network!
Screen saver
A screen saver can be activated in the R&S SMC. When active, the display is shut off
when no entries via front panel, external mouse or external keyboard are made for a
period of time. The screen saver prolongs the life time of the display.
Use the "Setup > Display Settings" dialog to switch on or off the screen saver and to
adjust the screen saver settings.
2.6 Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection
The R&S SMC is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an Ethernet
LAN (local area network). Provided the appropriate rights have been assigned by the
network administrator and the Linux firewall configuration is adapted accordingly, the
interface can be used, for example:
●
To transfer data between a controller and the tester, e.g. in order to run a remote
control program.
See
chapter 6, "Remote Control Basics"
●
To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the "Remote
Desktop" application, the Ultr@VNC program (or a similar tool)
●
To connect external network devices (e.g. printers)
●
To transfer data from a remote computer and back, e.g. using network folders
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the following topics:
