Connecting the R&S

 

TSME to a Software Application

for the First Time

The following procedure describes the steps performed when you connect the
R&S

 

TSME to a software application (R&S

 

ROMES, R&S

 

NESTOR, or R&S

 

ViCom)

for the first time. Note that this process may take a few minutes initially.

1. Switch on the R&S

 

TSME and the host PC.

2. Start the R&S

 

ROMES / R&S

 

NESTOR / R&S

 

ViCom application on the host PC.

The application searches for R&S

 

TSMEs connected to the host PC.

If the R&S

 

TSME is detected by the software for the first time, the software down-

loads the calibration files from the R&S

 

TSME to the host PC. This may take a few

minutes.

3. If the firewall settings have not been defined to include the R&S

 

TSME applica-

tions, a Windows Security Alert may appear. Change the firewall settings to permit
access to the R&S

 

TSME applications:

a) In the Windows Control Panel, select "System and Security > Windows Firewall

> Allow programs to communicate through Windows Firewall".

b) Allow one or more specified application modules to communicate 

on all three

network types

 (domain, private, public).

In particular, select:
● TSME Device Manager Application
● tsmeping

Connecting the R&S
