3.1 Connecting external frontends
To connect an R&S FE44S
The following procedure describes how to connect an R&S FE44S to an R&S SMW
using the "RF A" connector as IF signal output. The R&S FE44S and R&S SMW are
switched on and connected to power.
1.
NOTICE! Cable selection. Use all cables delivered with the frontend. Other con-
nections can require additional cables.
For the IF connection, use the cable IF Connecting Cable Ext. FE as delivered with
the external frontend. The cable is available under part number 1347.7552.00. For
the reference signal connection and the LAN connection, use high-quality cables.
See "Cable selection and electromagnetic interference (EMI)" in the R&S
SMW
Getting Started.
2.
NOTICE! Risk of SMA connector damage and cable damage. Excessive tightening
can damage the connecting cable, the SMA connectors and components inside the
R&S
SMW.
Connect the "RF A" connector of the R&S SMW with the "IF In" connector of the
R&S FE44S.
See also section "Connecting to RF" in the R&S SMW user manual.
3. Connect the "LAN" connector with the "LAN" connector of the R&S FE44S.
See also section "Connecting to LAN" in the R&S SMW user manual.
4. Check if the hostname (1), IP address (2), subnet mask (3) and gateway address
(4) of the R&S FE44S are correct.
Once connected to LAN, the electronic label on the right side panel of the
R&S
FE44S displays these network parameters:
