LAN Detection
Activate "LAN Detection" to include the LAN interface in the autodetection sequence
(see Scan Instruments).
Note: "LAN detection" only works for external devices on the IP subnet with the
R&S ZNA.
As a prerequisite, the R&S ZNA must accept incoming connections on UDP port 2473.
If necessary, add a corresponding inbound rule to your firewall settings.
Remote command:

Add Device
Adds a new instrument to the list of "Configured Devices".
In the "Add External Power Meter" dialog, you can specify the instrument and connec-
tion properties:
●
"Interface" selects an interface/protocol type for the connection. In addition to the
GPIB, VXI-11, SOCKET and "Raw Serial" interface types, the analyzer accepts any
"Other" interface supported by the installed VISA library.
– GPIB, VXI-11 and SOCKET is applicable for devices connected to the GPIB
Bus or LAN connectors on the rear panel of the analyzer, respectively.
– "Raw Serial" is used for VDI Erickson power meters PMx and PM4, whose con-
trol units are connected to the R&S ZNA via USB. The PM5 control unit is
equipped with a USB interface, for the PM4 an additional USB-to-RS232
adapter is required.
– "Other" is used in particular for USB connections, e.g. for auto-detected
R&S NRP-Zxx sensors.
●
"Address" contains the address for the current interface type. GPIB addresses
must be unique for all devices connected to the GPIB bus (range: 0 to 30), GPIB
and IP addresses must agree with the entries in the VISA library. The remaining
interface types require composite address formats; see Table 5-9.
For VDI Erickson PM4 power meters, the (virtual) COM port of the related USB-to-
RS232 adapter must be specified (see "Control connection" on page 288). PM4
