Unlike all other modules for R&S
OSP switch units, the R&S
OSP-B157W8
and R&S
OSP-B157W8PLUS are not equipped with on-board memory to
store the switching configuration of the module's signal paths. Therefore,
the hosting switch unit cannot recognize the module. Instead, the module's
LAN interface must be connected to the control computer and the switching
configuration must be saved as a "Hardware Setup" in the R&S
WMS32
software. In this software, the switching configuration of the R&S
OSP-
B157W8 and R&S
OSP-B157W8PLUS is already implemented.
OSP-B157W8 or R&S
OSP-B157W8PLUS and the
R&S
OSP-B157WX, refer to their
