Connect the computer and the R&S SGS with a LAN network cable.
3. Wait for about one minute for the automatic assignment of IP addresses to com-
plete.
4. R&S SGMA-GUI main panel, select "Setup > Instruments".
5. In the "Configure Instruments" dialog, click "Scan".
The new instrument appears with a Zeroconf IP address 169.254.xx.yy.
6. To assign a static IP address to the instrument, see "Assigning a static IP address
to the R&S SGS" on page 31.
7. To assign a static IP address to the PC, see "Assigning a static IP address to your
Windows-PC network card" on page 32.
8. To edit the instrument settings, see Chapter 8.4.2.6, "How to edit instruments",
on page 78.
3.13.2.2 Assigning the IP address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned automati-
cally.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP address
via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if the instrument
is set to use, alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually,
see "Setting up a dedicated network connection" on page 30.
The R&S SGS uses the Zeroconf IP addresses 169.254.xxx.yyy, where xxx takes val-
ues between 1...254 and yyy the values in the value range 1...255; the subnet mask is
always 255.255.0.0. The IP address of the host must be within the same address area
for Zeroconf.
Assigning a static IP address to the R&S SGS
Prerequisites: A connection is established between the R&S SGS and the controller
with installed SGMA-GUI.
For how to set up a LAN connection, see Chapter 3.13.2.1, "Connecting to the net-
work", on page 30.
For how to set up a USB connection, see "Setting up a USB connection from a PC to
the R&S SGS" on page 33.
1. Open "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Setup > Network Settings" dialog.
2. Set the "Address Mode" to "Static".
3. Enter the "IP Address", for example 192.168.0.1..
