3.13.2 Connecting a remote PC via LAN
The R&S SGS is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an Ether-
net LAN (local area network). The interface can be used, for example:
●
To connect an external computer for manual control of the instrument by the R&S
SGMA-GUI software.
●
To operate the device by a remote control program.
See Chapter 12, "Network operation and remote control", on page 175.
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It covers the following top-
ics:
● Connecting to the network...................................................................................... 30
● Assigning the IP address........................................................................................ 31
● Adding instruments to R&S SGMA-GUI..................................................................32
3.13.2.1 Connecting to the network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the instru-
ment and a single computer.
In both cases, an IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the computer,
see Chapter 3.13.2.2, "Assigning the IP address", on page 31.
Setting up a non-dedicated network (LAN) connection
► See Chapter 3.7, "Connecting to LAN", on page 23.
