network administrator and the Linux firewall configuration is adapted accordingly, the
interface can be used, for example:
●
To transfer data between a controller and the tester, e.g. in order to run a remote
control program.
See
chapter 6, "Remote Control Basics"
●
To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the "Remote
Desktop" application, the Ultr@VNC program (or a similar tool)
●
To connect external network devices (e.g. printers)
●
To transfer data from a remote computer and back, e.g. using network folders
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the following topics:
●
chapter 2.6.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network"
●
chapter 2.6.2, "Assigning the IP Address"
Accessing Operating System
The operating system cannot be accessed.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.
2.6.1 Connecting the Instrument to the Network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The instrument is assigned an
IP address and can coexist with a computer and with other hosts on the same net-
work.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the instrument
and a single computer made with a (crossover) RJ-45 network cable. The computer
must be equipped with a network adapter and is directly connected to the instrument.
The use of hubs, switches, or gateways is not required, however, data transfer is still
performed using the TCP/IP protocol.
In both cases, an IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the computer, see
chapter 2.6.2, "Assigning the IP Address"
The R&S SMBV uses the IP addresses 192.168.xxx.yyy for this purposes, where xxx and
yyy may take values between 1...254; the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.0.
Risk of network failure
Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network, consult your
network administrator. Errors may affect the entire network.
► To establish a non-dedicated network connection, connect a commercial RJ-45 cable
to one of the LAN ports.
