Remote GUI on Notebook / desktop PC
If
you want to install the GUI for use on a notebook or desktop PC, you should
follow the procedure described in chapter 4.4, "GUI Installation for Remote
Access", on page 63.
If the R&S EB500 cannot reboot
Due
to the fact that the R&S EB500 also can be updated using the Update32
Tool (see "Updating the EB500 with front control panel" on page 63), there
is a chance that the R&S EB500 cannot reboot. Follow the steps described
in "If the R&S EB500 cannot reboot" on page 63 to deal with this problem.
4.3 Receiver Firmware Update for EB500 without
front control panel
This model requires a different update method which makes use of the LAN inter-
face of the R&S EB500 (X7 on the rear panel). The method uses the "Update32"
tool, which runs under Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Retrieve Update32
The firmware required for the update can be retrieved from either one of the loca-
tions mentioned at "CD-ROM and Downloads" on page 48.
Click on Firmware Update Program and File Explorer will be launched into
the directory Update32XP. The Update32 tool can be installed by clicking on
Setup. If your browser does not launch File Explorer, you should launch it
manually and navigate to the Update32XP directory on the CD-ROM where you
can run Setup.
