1.7.2 Connecting the R&S ZVH in an existing LAN
You can either draw the R&S ZVH IP address automatically from the DHCP server or
manually assign a fixed address. With manual allocation, a fixed IP address and
subnet mask must be assigned to the R&S ZVH as described in the chapter on direct
LAN connection. Then the R&S ZVHView software has to be configured as described
with the assigned IP address.
Free IP address
Contact your IT system manager to get a free IP address.
In networks with a DHCP server, DHCP permits automatic allocation of the network
configuration to the R&S ZVH connected via LAN cable. For this purpose, DHCP has
to be active on the R&S ZVH.
DHCP is off by default. Turn it on like this:
► In the "Instrument Setup" dialog box, select the "DHCP" item.
► Press the ENTER key.
A dropdown menu to select the DHCP state opens.
► Select "On" to activate DHCP.
The R&S ZVH is now allocated an IP address and the subnet mask by the DHCP
server. This can take several seconds.
The IP address and subnet mask are automatically set in the corresponding input fields
and are no longer available for editing.
Configure the R&S ZVHView software with the IP address and subnet mask as defined
by the DHCP server. For more information see "
page 45.
