6 Special Considerations for USB Ports
USB ports can pose a security risk in high-security locations. Generally, this risk comes
from small USB pen drives, also known as memory sticks or key drives. They can be
easily concealed and can quickly read/write several Gbyte of data.
Disabling USB ports for writing user data
You can disable the write capability on the USB ports of the R&S FSUP via a utility
software. This utility software is available on the R&S FSUP website http://www.rohde-
schwarz.com/product/fsup.html.
To disable the write capability, copy the utility software to the R&S FSUP and run it
once. After a reboot of the instrument, the write capability on any USB memory device
is disabled.
