User Manual 1514.6542.02 ─ 10
The R&S
TSME is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). The interface can be used to connect the
R&S
TSME to a host PC.
How to connect multiple R&S
TSMEs to a single host PC (for example for LTE MIMO
setups) is described in
Chapter 2.2.5, "Connecting Multiple R&S
PC (LTE MIMO Setups, Parallel Usage)"
The following scenarios are possible.
●
Connection between PC and R&S
TSME(s) using static IP addresses.
●
Connection between PC and R&S
TSME(s) using dynamical generated IP
addresses (
Auto-IP
).
Operating Modes
The "Full auto-IP" operating mode is only available with following versions of ROMES,
ViCom and NESTOR software.
●
R&S ROMES: Version 18.1 and later
●
R&S ViCOM: Version 16.20 and later
●
R&S NESTOR: Version 2.7.0 and later
●
"Full auto-IP" operating mode
IP addresses are automatically generated on PC and R&S
TSME(s) if the following
conditions are met:
–
PC network interface is configured to obtain an IP address automatically
–
IP address stored in R&S
TSME(s) is not in range 169.254.0.1 –
169.254.255.254 (inclusive).
Note:
This is the IP address set by the R&S
TSME Device Manager.
●
"Partial auto-IP" operating mode
IP address is automatically generated on PC and a static IP address is used on
R&S
TSME if the following conditions are met:
–
PC network interface is configured to obtain an IP address automatically
–
IP address stored in R&S
TSME is in range 169.254.0.1 – 169.254.255.254
(inclusive).
Note:
This is the IP address set by the R&S
TSME Device Manager.
●
"Static IP" operating mode
IP address is manually set on PC and a static IP used on R&S
TSME if the follow-
ing conditions are met:
–
PC LAN interface is configured to use a user-defined IP address, not in range
169.254.0.1 – 169.254.255.254 (inclusive).
