Configuring Internet Connection Firewall
The Windows XP Firewall blocks all network communication which is not initialized by the controller
itself or which is defined as unwanted. It protects the controller from an attack of hostile users and
programs. On the R&S AFQ, the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is activated for all network
connections per default to enhance protection of the instrument.
To enable data transfer with other controllers in a local network, file and peripherals sharing must be
specifically permitted.
1. Open the start menu, select
Control Panel
and open the context menu by pressing the right
mouse key.
2. Click on Switch to Classic View and select the Windows Firewall.
