11.2.1.1 Configuring the R&S ESR for Remote Operation
To avoid problems, use a fixed IP address.
When a DHCP server is used, a new IP address is assigned each time the instrument
is restarted. This address must first be determined on the instrument itself. Thus, using
a DHCP server is not suitable for remote operation of the R&S ESR via Remote Desk-
top.
With the factory settings, the default "instrument" user can connect to the R&S ESR
with the Remote Desktop program of the controller immediately. No further configura-
tion is required. However, if the connection fails or other users need to connect, this
section provides basic instructions on setting up the Remote Desktop for the
R&S ESR.
1. Press the "Windows" key on the external keyboard or the [CTRL + ESC] key com-
bination on your keyboard to access the operating system.
2. In the Windows "Start" menu, select "Settings > System".
3. Search for "remote access".
4. Select "Allow remote access to your computer".
5. Define which users are to be given access to the R&S ESR via Remote Desktop.
Note: The user account under which configuration is carried out is automatically
enabled for Remote Desktop.
