1.6.4 Connecting a Monitor
A standard DVI monitor can be connected to the DVI-D connector in the lower right
corner of the rear panel. The monitor displays the magnified R&S ZVL screen with all
diagram areas, measurement results and control elements. Connection of an analog
VGA monitor is not supported.
After connecting the monitor, use the

contents on the R&S ZVL and on the external monitor simultaneously, proceed as
follows:
1. Connect an external keyboard to the instrument and press CTRL + ESC to access
the operating system.
2. On the right side of the task bar, click the monitor icon.

A LAN cable can be connected to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the analyzer.
To establish a LAN connection proceed as follows:
1. Refer to section
Assigning an IP Address
and learn how to avoid connection errors.
2. Connect an appropriate LAN cable to the LAN port. Use a commercial RJ-45 cable
to establish a non-dedicated network connection, or a cross-over RJ-45 cable to
establish a dedicated connection between the analyzer and a single PC.
Dedicated vs. non-dedicated network connections
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection of the analyzer:
C
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the analyzer to an existing
network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The analyzer is assigned an
IP address and can coexist with a computer and with other hosts on the same
network.
