9 Operating the R&S
SFE100 in a LAN
The R&S
SFE100 is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). The network card operates with 100
MBit Ethernet
IEEE 802.3u. The TCP/IP network protocol and the associated network services are
preconfigured.
To be able to exchange data within a local area network (LAN), every computer or
instrument that is connected must have a unique IP address or a unique computer
name. Access between different users is managed with access authorizations.
Provided the appropriate rights have been assigned and the Window
XP firewall con-
figuration is adapted accordingly, the interface can be used e.g. for transferring data,
printing on network printers, operating the R&S
SFE100 from a remote computer.
To use network resources, access must be granted. To share files on the R&S
SFE100
with other network users, access to instrument resources, e.g. the hard drives, must
also be granted. All these administration tasks are normally performed by a network
administrator using the Windows
XP Start menu (for details refer to the Windows
XP
help system). Contact your network administrator for access authorizations.
User name and password of the R&S
SFE100 are factory-set. The user name is used
for auto login, access authorization and remote operation.

9.1 Connecting the R&S
SFE100 to the Network
Risk of network failure/virus infection
Before connecting the R&S
SFE100 to the network or configuring the network, do the
following:
●
Consult your network administrator.
●
If your network does not support DHCP or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must assign valid address information before connecting the
R&S
SFE100 to the LAN.
Errors may affect the entire network.
Efficient virus protection is a prerequisite for secure operation in the network. Never
connect the R&S
SFE100 to a network without proper protection against a virus infec-
tion, as doing so may cause damage to the instrument software.
