Remote Control via LAN Interface
For remote control via a network, the PC and the instrument must be connected via the LAN interface to
a common network with TCP/IP network protocol.
Connection of the R&S AFQ to a network and the querying of a computer name is described in
chapter 1, section
Note:
In contrast to file transfer via LAN which requires only a partial permission (exception) in the firewall,
remote control via LAN is possible only if the firewall is completely switched off. Therefore, the
firewall settings for remote control differ from the firewall settings for file transfer (see following
description).
Setting for Remote Control:
Start – Control Panel – Switch to Classic View – Windows Firewall – Off (not recommended)
NOTICE
Risk of hostile users or programs!
It is recommend to enable the Windows Firewall again after termination of remote
control via LAN (setting On (recommended)) in order to protect the instrument from an
attack of hostile users or programs via the net.
