Virus protection
An efficient virus protection is a prerequisite for secure operation in a network. Please
notice the following recommendations when using anti-virus software on the
R&S CMW500:
●
To avoid adverse effects on the performance of the instrument, download of signature
files from the internet and hard disk scans must not be performed during the use of
testing capabilities.
●
Real-time virus protection of the hard disk should be disabled during tests.
R&S excludes any liability in respect of the use of anti-virus software on the
R&S CMW500.
2.5.3.1 Connecting a LAN Cable
Connect a commercial RJ-45 cable to a LAN port of the R&S CMW500. The LAN
REMOTE connector at the rear panel and the LAN connector at the front panel are suit-
able for this purpose (front panel connector not available for R&S CMW280).
Do not use other connectors, for example LAN SWITCH or LAN DAU for remote operation
of the instrument. These optional connectors are used for other purposes, e.g. IP data
tests or logging of signaling messages.
Dedicated vs. non-dedicated network connections
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection of the R&S CMW500:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the tester to an existing network.
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. The com-
puter 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.
Avoid parallel connection
Never use more than one LAN connector to connect the R&S CMW500 in parallel to the
same network as this will result in connection errors.
2.5.3.2 Assigning an IP Address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the
R&S CMW500 can be obtained in different ways:
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host Con-
figuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned automatically.
