CONFIGURE
NETWORK
The CONFIGURE NETWORK softkey opens the following submenu:
COMPUTER
NAME
The COMPUTERNAME softkey opens a dialog to enter the computer name. The
naming conventions of Windows apply.
For more details see the Quick Start Guide 6, “ LAN Interface”.
IP ADDRESS The IP ADDRESS softkey opens a dialog to configure the instrument's IP address.
The TCP/IP protocol is preinstalled with the IP address 10.0.0.10. If the DHCP
server is available (DHCP ON) the softkey is not available.
For more details see the Quick Start Guide 6, “ LAN Interface”.
SUBNET MASK The SUBNET MASK softkey opens a dialog to configure the instrument's TCP/IP
subnet mask. The TCP/IP protocol is preinstalled with the subnet mask
255.255.255.0.
The subnet mask consists of four number blocks separated by dots. Each block con-
tain 3 numbers in maximum (e.g.100.100.100.100), but also one ore two numbers
are allowed in a block (as an example see the preinstalled address).
For more details see the Quick Start Guide 6, “ LAN Interface”.
DHCP ON | OFF If the DHCP softkey is set ON, a new IP address is assigned each time the instru-
ment is restarted. This address must first be determined on the instrument itself.

SHOW CONFIG
The Network Configuration softkeys above are available from firmware Version
4.3x.
Instruments shipped with Windows XP Service Pack1 require an additional instal-
lation package (LXI installer) if the softkeys are not visible. This installation pack-
age is available on the R&S instrument's download area.
The configuration via softkeys is only possible if the LAN is connected to the
instrument.
To avoid problems, use a fixed IP address.
Using a DHCP server is not suitable for remote operation of the R&S FSU.
