●
To transfer data between a controlling device and the test device, e.g. to run a
remote control program.
See chapter "Remote Control" in the R&S ZNLE user manual.
●
To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the
"Remote Desktop" application (or a similar tool)
●
To connect external network devices (e.g. printers)
●
To transfer data from a remote computer and back, e.g. using network folders
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the follow-
ing topics:
●
Chapter 4.5.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network", on page 27
●
Chapter 4.5.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 28
LXI
The R&S ZNLE supports the LXI core features. LXI gives you direct access
to the LAN settings described below.
For further information on the LXI interface, refer to the user manual.
4.5.1 Connecting the Instrument to the Network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an
existing network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The instrument
is assigned an IP address and can coexist with a computer and with other
hosts on the same network.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the
instrument and a single computer made with a (crossover) RJ-45 network
cable. The computer must be equipped with a network adapter and is directly
connected to the instrument. The use of hubs, switches, or gateways is not
required, however, data transfer is still performed using the TCP/IP protocol.
You must assign an IP address to the instrument and the computer, see Chap-
ter 4.5.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 28.
Note: As the R&S ZNLE uses a 1 GBit LAN, a crossover cable is not neces-
sary (due to Auto-MDI(X) functionality).
