Connecting a Remote PC via LAN
The R&S
SGS is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). The interface can be used, for example:
●
To connect an external computer for manual control of the instrument by the
R&S SGMA-GUI software.
●
To operate the device by a remote control program.
See
Chapter 5.2, "Network and Remote Control Operation"
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the follow-
ing topics:
●
Chapter 2.3.2.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network"
●
Chapter 2.3.2.2, "Assigning the IP Address"
●
Chapter 2.3.2.3, "Automatically Adding Instruments to the SGMA-GUI "
2.3.2.1
Connecting the Instrument to the Network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an
existing network.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the
instrument and a single computer.
In both cases, an IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the com-
puter, see
Chapter 2.3.2.2, "Assigning the IP Address"
