8. Edit the instrument settings in the "Edit Instrument" dialog ("SGMA-GUI >

Setup > Instruments > Instrument> Edit").

Assigning the IP Address

Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the
instrument can be obtained in different ways.

If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned auto-
matically.

If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP
address via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if
the instrument is set to use alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses
must be set manually, see 

"Setting up a dedicated network connection"

on page 20.

The R&S

 

SGS uses the Zeroconf IP addresses 169.254.xxx.yyy., where xxx

takes values between 1...254 and yyy the values in the value range 1...255;
the subnet mask is always 255.255.0.0. The IP address of the host must be
within the same address area for Zeroconf.

By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish
a physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.

Assigning a static IP address to the R&S

 

SGS

Prerequisites: A connection is established between the R&S

 

SGS and the control-

ler with installed SGMA-GUI.

For how to setup a LAN connection, see 

Chapter 2.3.2.1, "Connecting the Instru-

ment to the Network"

on page 19.

For how to set up a USB connection, see 

"Setting up a USB connection from a

PC to the R&S

 

SGS"

 

on page 24.

1. Open "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Setup > Network Settings" dialog.

2. Set the "Address Mode" to "Static".

3. Enter the "IP Address", for example 

192.168.0.1.
