– A WLAN router (hot spot)
Required for accessing the R&S SMA100B
●
The smart device must be known and accepted in the network of the
R&S SMA100B.
●
The App or web browser implements the VNC functionality on the smart device for
remote operation.
It is recommended that all components in the network use DHCP, which automatically
assigns the relevant address information.
With the configuration in the example, you can reach the instrument from a great dis-
tance, since the WLAN router acts as an additional access point.
