d) Select the "Jumbo Frames" property and the "Value":"9014 Bytes".

9. Close the Control Panel, reboot the host PC and check if the connection can be
established successfully (see Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting" , on page 58).
Activating required ports
If your firewall is active make sure the following ports are available:
●
Port 17476: Data transport between PC and R&S TSME
2.2.2.2 Connecting the R&S TSME to the Host PC
The R&S TSME has a built-in 1000BASE-T, (802.3ab) 1 Gbit/s Ethernet interface. The
host PC must have a separate 1 Gbit network interface card with an independent LAN
connection and a deactivated firewall.
Dedicated LAN adapter and IP address for host PC
It is important for the host PC to have its own dedicated LAN adapter for the connec-
tion to one or more R&S
TSMEs (or a switch), rather than being integrated in a regular
office network.
Note that if multiple R&S
TSMEs are connected to one host PC, it is important to
define unique IP addresses for each instrument using the R&S TSME Device Manager
(see Chapter 4.3, "Changing the IP Address for Multiple R&S TSME Configuration" ,
on page 45).
► Connect the supplied LAN cable to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the
R&S TSME, and to the host PC.
Windows 7 automatically detects the network connection and all devices in the
same subnet when the R&S
TSME is switched on.
2.2.3 Connecting External Devices
The following external devices are required for standard operation (see also Chap-
ter 1.2, "Measurement Setup" , on page 5):
●
Connect the instrument to the power supply as described in Chapter 2.2.1, "Con-
necting the DC Power Supply" , on page 15.
●
Connect the PC or notebook LAN port to the LAN port of the R&S TSME as descri-
bed in Chapter 2.2.2, "Setting Up the LAN Connection to the Host PC" , on page 16.
●
Connect the (optional) antenna's SMA-connector to the RF IN connector.
