Assigning the IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned automati-
cally.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP address
via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if the instrument
is set to use alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually,
see
"Setting up a dedicated network connection"
The R&S
SGU uses the Zeroconf IP addresses 169.254.xxx.yyy., where xxx takes val-
ues between 1...254 and yyy the values in the value range 1...255; the subnet mask is
always 255.255.0.0. The IP address of the host must be within the same address area
for Zeroconf.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish a
physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.
Assigning a static IP address to the R&S
SGU
Prerequisites: A connection is established between the R&S
SGU and the controller
with installed SGMA-GUI.
For how to setup a LAN connection, see
Chapter 2.3.2.1, "Connecting the Instrument
For how to set up a USB connection, see
"Setting up a USB connection from a PC to
1. Open "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Setup > Network Settings" dialog.
2. Set the "Address Mode" to "Static".
3. Enter the "IP Address", for example
192.168.0.1.
.
4. Enter the "Subnet mask", for example
255.255.255.0
.
5. Enter the "Default Gateway", for example
192.168.0.1
.
Assigning a static IP address to your Windows-PC network card
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the R&S
SGU and the IP address for
the local default gateway from your network administrator. If necessary, also obtain
the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers
