b) To assign a static IP address to the PC, see "Assigning a static IP address to
your Windows-PC network card" on page 32.

on page 78.
Connecting a USB device
If you connect a USB device (memory stick, CD-ROM, an instrument) to the R&S SGS,
the R&S SGS acts as a host.
To connect a USB device to the interface of the R&S SGS, always connect the
USB type Micro-A connector to the R&S SGS. Refer to the documentation of the USB
device to find out which USB connector type you can connect to the USB device.
The Figure 3-2 illustrates schematically the required connector type to emphasize on
the different connector shape.

If you connect an R&S SGS to an R&S SGU via a USB cable, perform the steps as
described in Chapter 7.2, "Connecting an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU", on page 48.
Using a USB adapter
You can use a USB adapter to customize the connectors of a USB cable to the require-
ments of the instrument.
For example, use a Type-A / Micro-A adapter to customize a standard USB cable. The
customized cable connects type A and type Micro-B connectors for the connection of
an R&S SGS (acting as a host) to an R&S SGU (acting as a USB device).
Also, you can use a Type-A / Micro-B adapter to establish a connection to the instru-
ment. To check, whether the adapter you have is suitable or not you can connect a
USB stick with an LED through the adapter to the instrument. If the LED of the USB
stick lights up after a connection to the instrument then you can use this adapter for
further applications with the instrument.
