R&S ESCI LAN Interface
1166.6004.12 4.335 E-1
Switching off the R&S ESCI from the Controller
The R&S ESCI can be switched off per remote control. For this purpose, proceed as follows:
1. Click the R&S ESCI soft front panel and close the application with <ALT><F4> .
2. Click the desktop and press <ALT><F4>.
A confirmation query with the warning that the instrument cannot be switched on again via remote
control is displayed with the query to continue the shutdown process.
3. Answer the confirmation query with YES.
The connection to the controller will then be cleared and the R&S ESCI will be switched off.
Remote Data Transfer with TCP/IP Services
The protocol TCP/IP allows the transfer of files between different computer systems. This requires a
program running on the two computers that controls this data transfer. It is not necessary that the same
operating or file system is used by both computers. For example, a file transfer between
DOS/WINDOWS and UNIX is possible. One of the two partners must be configured as Host and the
other one as Client. However, they may change their roles. Usually, the system which is able to perform
several processes at the same time will play the host role. The file transfer program usually used under
TCP/IP is FTP (File Transfer Protocol). An FTP host is installed as standard on the majority of UNIX
systems.
If the TCP/IP services are installed, a terminal connection is possible using "Start" - "Programs" -
"Accessories" - "Telnet" or a data transfer via FTP by means of "Start" - "Run" "ftp" - "OK". Thus all
computer systems supporting these universal protocols can be addressed (UNIX, VMS, etc).
For further information, refer to the corresponding XP literature.
File Transfer via FTP
The total scope of functions and commands is described in the FTP literature. The following table
therefore only contains the major functions:
Setting up the connection
Click "Start" and then "Run" in the task bar.
The DOS command
FTP
starts the program.
The command
OPEN <xx.xx.xx.xx>
sets up the connection.
xx.xx.xx.xx = IP address e.g. 89.0.0.13
Data transfer
The command
PUT <dateiname>
transfers the data to the target system.
The command
GET <dateiname>
transfers the data from the target system.
The command
TYPE B
transfers the data in BINARY format; no conversion takes place.
The command
TYPE A
transfers the data in ASCII format, converting control characters
so that text files can also be read on the target system.
