Remote Desktop Connection
Remote Desktop is a Windows
®
application which you can use to access and control
the analyzer from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the measure-
ment is running, the analyzer screen contents are displayed on the remote computer,
and Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications, files, and network
resources of the analyzer.
At the R&S
ZNA by default remote connections are enabled using a local group policy
and remote access is granted to users instrument and administrator.
For detailed information about Remote Desktop and the connection refer to the Win-
dows
®
