Even if all these parameters are set properly, this rule can be overwritten in Windows
Firewall by a blocking rule. Furthermore on first execution of a program, windows ask
the user to decide on which network profiles communication through the firewall shall
be allowed. If it is set correct by user, the firewall is in a good state.
Connecting the R&S TSME6 to the host PC
The R&S TSME6 has a built-in 1000BASE-T (802.3ab), 1 Gbit/s Ethernet interface.
The host PC must have a separate 1
Gbit network interface card with an independent
LAN connection.
Dedicated LAN adapter and IP address for host PC
It is important for the host PC to have its own dedicated LAN adapter for the connec-
tion to one or more R&S TSME6s (or a switch), rather than being integrated in a regu-
lar office network.
If multiple R&S TSME6s are connected to one host PC, following rules are valid.
●
Using "static IP" or "partial auto-IP" operating mode, it is important to define unique
IP addresses for each instrument using the R&S
TSME Device Manager (see R&S
TSME6 User Manual, chapter Configuring the R&S TSME6).
●
Using "full auto-IP" operating mode, it is recommended to define unique IP
addresses for each instrument, but depending on software run, it may not be man-
datory.
► Connect the supplied LAN cable to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the
R&S TSME6, and to the host PC.
Windows 10 automatically detects the network connection and all devices in the
same subnet when the R&S TSME6 is switched on.

Connecting external devices
The SMA connector is sensitive to mechanical stress. Use the following handling pre-
cautions.
●
Always use a torque wrench and mount the cable end with 60 Ncm.
●
Do not stack adapters directly at the SMA connector. If you need to use adapters
(e.g: SMA to N), then always use a specific adapter cable (order no.
4900.1700.00).
