The R&S FSW can be operated in a local area network (LAN), for example to control
the instrument from a remote PC or use a network printer.
The general network settings are defined in the "Network" tab of the "Network +
Remote" dialog box.
Risk of network problems
All parameters can be edited here; however, beware that changing the computer name
has major effects in a network.
