2.3.2 Connecting a Remote PC via LAN
The R&S
SGT is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an Ether-
net 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 10, "Network and Remote Control Operation"
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the following top-
ics:
●

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 instru-
ment and a single computer.
In both cases, an IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the computer,
