CMW 500 Preparing for Use
Starting the R&S CMW 500 and Shutting Down
Operating Manual 1202.3986.32 – 03 19
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the tester to an existing
network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The tester is assigned an IP
address and can coexist with a computer and with other hosts on the same
network.
A dedicated network connection between the tester and a single computer made
with a cross-over RJ-45 network cable. The computer must be equipped with a
network adapter and is directly connected to the tester. The use of hubs, switches,
or gateways is not needed, however, data transfer is still made using the TCP/IP
protocol.
The IP address information is displayed in the Setup Dialog.
The two LAN connectors on the front and rear panel of the R&S CMW 500 are
equivalent. Choose the one that is more convenient for your application.
ATTENTION
Avoid parallel connection
Never use both LAN connectors to connect the R&S CMW 500 in parallel to the same
network as this will result in connection errors.
1.6 Starting the R&S CMW 500 and Shutting
Down
To start the R&S CMW 500, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the tester is connected to the AC power supply and the power
switch on the rear panel is in position I (On).
2. If necessary, press the STANDBY toggle switch on the front panel to switch the
instrument to ready state (the green LED is on).
In ready state, the tester automatically performs a system check, boots the
Windows XP operating system and then starts the CMW application with its Startup
Dialog (see description in the "System Overview" chapter of the help system). If the
previous session was terminated regularly, the CMW application uses the last setup
with the relevant instrument settings.
Once the startup procedure has been terminated, the measurement or generator
dialog opened in the previous session is displayed.
To shut down the R&S CMW 500, proceed as follows:
1. Press the STANDBY key to save the current setup, close the CMW application,
shut down the Windows XP operating system and set the instrument to standby
state. Of course you can also perform this procedure step by step like in any
Windows session.
2. If desired, set the AC power switch to position 0 (Off).
