●
Control the measurement from a remote computer using Remote Desktop or a sim-
ilar application.
●
Use external network devices (e.g. printers).
Virus protection
An efficient virus protection is a prerequisite for secure operation in the network. Never
connect your analyzer to an unprotected network. For useful hints, see the following
Rohde & Schwarz application note:
●
1EF96: Malware Protection Windows 10
●
1DC01: Malware Protection Windows 7
The analyzer uses a user name and password as credentials for remote access; see
note on
"User accounts and password protection"
on page 63 for details. To protect the
analyzer from unauthorized access, it is recommended to change the factory setting.
7.3.1
Assigning an IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the analyzer
can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned automati-
cally.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, or if the analyzer is set to use alternate
TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
By default, the analyzer is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and obtain
all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish a physical
connection to the LAN without any previous analyzer configuration.
Manual TCP/IP configuration
If your network does not support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must assign valid address information
before
you connect the ana-
lyzer to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address,
because connection errors can affect the entire network.
Administrator account
You need administrator rights to change the TCP/IP configuration. See note on
accounts and password protection"
