3 Connect the T&M instrument with the WLAN Router
It is assumed that the instrument is not connected with another router or DHCP server.
● Connect a RJ-45 cable to a LAN port of the T&M instrument.
● Connect the other end of the cable to a WLAN router's LAN port.
Note:
In this way, you can connect several T&M instruments with the WLAN router.
3.1.2 WLAN Connection via WLAN USB Adapter
Static T&M instrument address information and the WLAN adhoc mode are applied.

Note:
The WLAN signals from the WLAN USB adapter can disturb measurements with
very low RX levels, e.g. sensitivity measurements. USB connectors on the rear of the
T&M instrument cause less interference due to the larger distance to its RX unit.
First Commissioning
Some installation and configuration steps are required. These steps are described in
the following sections.
Prerequisites for the First Commissioning:
● A T&M instrument with display or a remote desktop connection between the T&M
instrument and a desktop computer (or notebook) is required.
● Keep the desired WLAN network name (SSID), encryption mode and password for
network access at hand.
Further Starts of Operation
The configurations of the first commissioning are kept. So simply proceed as follows:
● Insert the WLAN USB adapter into an empty USB port of the running T&M instru-
ment. The WLAN USB adapter gets active according to the stored configuration.
Note:
The drives, directories and paths in the following descriptions are examples and
depend on the type of T&M instrument.
