Use hostnames to identify the sensor
In networks using a DHCP server, it is recommended that you address the sensor by
its unambiguous hostnames, see Chapter 3.5.2.3, "Using Hostnames", on page 20.
A hostname is a unique identifier of the power sensor that remains permanent as long
as it is not explicitly changed. Hence, you can address a power sensor by the same
identification, irrespectively if a network or a point-to-point connection is used.
3.6 Connecting to a USB Host
For connecting the power sensor to a USB host, use the host interface of the power
sensor. For details, see Chapter 4.3, "Host Interface", on page 24.
To connect a cable to the host interface of the power sensor
You can use an R&S NRP‑ZKU cable or R&S NRP‑ZK6 cable.
1. Insert the screw-lock cable connector into the host interface connector of the power
sensor.
2. Tighten the union nut manually.
To disconnect the host interface of the R&S NRPxxS(N) power sensors
► Loosen the union nut of the screw-lock cable connector and remove the cable.
