Remote Monitoring of R&S ESCI via XP Remote Desktop
Introduction
In production test and measurements, the question of how to centrally monitor measuring instruments
that are used for remote servicing/diagnostics is often arises. With the remote desktop of Windows XP,
the new Spectrum Analyzer Family R&S ESCI offers ideal preconditions for use in production:
• Access to operating functions via virtual front panel (soft front panel)
• Printout of measurement results directly from the controller
• Storing measurement data to the hard disk of the controller
The analyzer is connected via LAN. XP also supports the connection via data transmission (via modem).
This section describes the configuration of R&S ESCI and the remote desktop client of the control PC.
For details on setting up the data transmission link, see relevant XP literature.
Configuration of R&S ESCI for Using Remote Desktop
The following steps are required to allow an external PC access to the desktop of the R&S FSP.
1. Determine the IP configuration of the network link:
! Open the Windows XP start menu using
the Windows key or CTRL-ESC.
! Click Settings - Network Connections -
Local Area Connection.
The Local Area Connection Status dialog
will be opened.
! Click the Support tab.
The current TCP/IP configuration will be
displayed.
If the entry "Assigned by DHCP" is
displayed in the Address Type field,
continue with step 2 (Installing a fixed
IP address...)
It would otherwise be sufficient to note the
IP address and to continue with step 3
(Enabling the R&S ESCI...)
