Connecting the R&S
DVMS to the Network
Risk of network failure/virus infection
Before connecting the R&S
DVMS to the network or configuring the network, do the
following:
●
Consult your network administrator.
●
If your network does not support DHCP or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must assign valid address information before connecting the
R&S
DVMS to the LAN.
Errors can affect the entire network.
Efficient virus protection is a prerequisite for secure operation in the network. Never
connect the R&S
DVMS to a network without proper protection against a virus infec-
tion, as doing so can damage the instrument software.
To connect the R&S
DVMS to the network
1. Fulfill all prerequisites mentioned above.
2. Make sure to switch off the R&S
DVMS. This way you ensure that the R&S
DVMS
detects the network connection reliably and works without any disruptions.
3. Connect the R&S
DVMS to the network using a CAT
‑
7 RJ.45 cable.
To disconnect the R&S
DVMS from the network
1. Make sure to switch off the R&S
DVMS.
2. Disconnect the R&S
DVMS from the network.
