1.2.8 Connecting External Accessories
1.2.8.1 Connecting a Mouse or Keyboard (DDF205 with front control panel
only)
You
can
connect a mouse or keyboard to the USB port on the front
panel of the R&S DDF205. The mouse or keyboard will be detected
automatically when connected. If you want to connect both at the
same time, you will need a USB hub. It is safe to connect and disconnect the mouse
and keyboard during a measurement.
1.2.8.2 Setting up a LAN Connection
You can connect a LAN cable to the LAN port (X7) on the rear panel
of the R&S DDF205.
To establish a LAN connection, proceed as described below.
1. Re
fer to chapter 4.5, "Changing the IP Address", on page 69 for
the steps needed to set the R&S DDF205’s IP address.
2.
Connect
a
LAN cable to the LAN port. The R&S DDF205 has an internal switch
which automatically detects the type of LAN cable connected so you can use
any standard type of LAN cable to establish a network connection with the
R&S DDF205 (dedicated or non-dedicated).
Dedicated vs. non-dedicated network connections
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection with the R&S DDF205:
● A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the R&S DDF205 to an
existing network. The R&S DDF205 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 R&S DDF205 and a single com-
puter. The computer must be equipped with a network adapter and is directly
connected to the R&S DDF205. The use of hubs, switches or gateways is not
required; however, data transfer is still made using the TCP/IP protocol.
Please refer to the Operating Manual for the steps to retrieve the IP address by
using the SETUP key.
