the analyzer from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the measure-
ment is running, the analyzer screen contents are displayed on the remote computer,
and Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications, files, and network
resources of the analyzer.
At the R&S ZNB/ZNBT by default remote connections are enabled using a local group
policy and remote access is granted to users instrument and administrator.
For detailed information about Remote Desktop and the connection refer to the Win-
dows

nection can be established.

Desktop Connection" at the Windows Start/Search menu and hit enter).
3. In the "Remote Desktop Connection" dialog, enter the VNA's computer name or IP
address and select "Connect"

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects an instrument by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access
to it through a network. In the default configuration of the R&S ZNB/ZNBT, the firewall
is enabled. A remote desktop connection does not require any changes in the firewall
settings.
Administrator account
You need administrator rights to change the firewall settings. See note on "User
accounts and password protection" on page 1423 above for details.
