13 Remote Server Mode (Requires CPU2 and SA
Hardware/SA Option 233)
Remote server mode enables you to connect your FieldFox to compatible
PC-based licensed software applications (e.g., 89600 VSA software
1
). Refer to
http://www.keysight.com/find/assist.
1. To order the 89600 VSA Software, refer to http://www.keysight.com/find/assist.
FieldFox with a Remote Server mode (available with FieldFox firmware
≥A.10.00) does not display a mode softkey, because Remote Server mode
is only enabled when you have a SA Option 233 on the FieldFox,
compatible 89600 VSA software license loaded and running on a remote
PC, and connected via LAN to your FieldFox. (i.e., Requires 89600 VSA
software version ≥22.01). Refer to http://www.keysight.com/find/assist.
When in Remote Server mode, most of the front panel hardkeys are locked
and will beep, but perform no actions when pressed (i.e., the FieldFox front
panel hardkeys are not relevant when connected via LAN to the 89600 VSA
software on your remote PC). In Remote Server mode only:
— System 7 hardkey lets you change the system settings
— Esc (escape) hardkey lets you forcefully disconnect from the PC-based
software
To gracefully disconnect (recommended) from the software, exit using the
PC-based software’s disconnect option or shutdown the software. Refer to
“Initial Waiting for a Connection from a PC-based and Compatible
Licensed Software or No Remote Connection” on page 303.
If you to attempt connect a non-compatible FieldFox you will see the
following error message:
“Error: 38, The requested functionality is not available.”
