Access:
Complex switching scenarios can require several switch units with many modules
working together. The R&S
OSP allows connecting and jointly controlling even many
switch units.
As a precondition, all connected switch units must run the same firmware version.
However, controlling this combination of devices can be a challenging task, if each
switch unit must be addressed separately.
Controlling interconnected setups in compatibility mode is limited to 1 primary switch
unit with frame ID "F01" and 8 secondary switch units with frame IDs "F02" to "F09".
To facilitate the combination of switch units, the R&S
OSP features operation in "Inter-
connection" mode. To achieve this operating mode, define one of your devices as a pri-
mary device and all other as secondary devices:
