the firewall. It is advisable to coordinate the configuration of the firewall with the net-
work administrator.
The remote control of the instrument via the LAN interface is described in the operating
manual on the documentation CD.
2.10.1 Connection to the Network
Possible malfunction of the network operation
It is recommended that the connection of the instrument to the network be coordinated
with the network administrator. Connection errors may affect the entire network.
Do not connect or disconnect the network cable until the instrument is switched off
(standby). Only then can the network connection be reliably detected and impairments
to instrument operation can be avoided.
The instrument is connected to the network using a commercially available RJ-45
cable connected to the LAN interface at the rear of the instrument. In order to supress
electromagnetic interference, it is recommended to use suitable shielded CAT6 or
CAT7 cables of high quality.
2.10.2 Configuration of R&S UPV for Network Operation
The network interface operates with 100-MHz Ethernet IEEE 802.3u. The TCP/IP net-
work protocol and the associated network services are preconfigured.
In order to exchange data in a local network (LAN), each connected computer or
instrument must have a unique IP address or a unique computer name. In addition,
network access of the different users is organized by the assignment of access rights.
The access rights determine which of the available network resources, e.g. file storage
systems, are available for the R&S UPV.
Networks with DHCP
The R&S UPV is preconfigured for networks using DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol). In these networks, the R&S UPV is automatically assigned an unused IP
address.
In this case, a unique computer name is used for identification in the network. Every
R&S UPV is assigned an individual computer name at the factory. This name can be
queried in the Windows menu "Start - My Computer" and changed (see
ter 2.10.2.3, "Querying the computer name"
