The R&S
ZN-Z84 automatically monitors the most important instrument functions
when it is turned on.

Connecting External Devices
The R&S
ZN-Z84 is equipped with different interfaces for establishing a remote
control connection, typically from a VNA of the R&SZNx family.
2.3.1
USB
If required, connect the USB connecting cable to the USB type B (slave) port on
the rear panel. With direct connection to a master device, a connecting cable A-B
(plug type A onto plug type B) must be used.
2.3.2
LAN
The connection to the LAN is made using a commercially available RJ-45 cable
via the LAN interface on the back of the instrument.
Possible disturbance of network operation
Only insert or remove the network cable when the instrument is turned off.
That is the only way to ensure reliable detection of the network connection
and avoid faults during operation of the instrument.
The network interface works with an 100 Mbit/s IEEE 802.3u Ethernet. The
TCP/IP network protocol and the associated network services are preconfigured.
In order to exchange data in a local area network (LAN), it must be possible to
address each connected computer or instrument via a unique IP address or a
hostname.
By default, every R&S
ZN-Z84 is assigned a hostname
ZN-Z84X<serial
number>
.
