316User Manual 1178.3711.02 ─ 08
If the dynamic TCP/IP configuration does not succeed, or if the instrument is expected
to use alternate TCP/IP configuration, you must set the address information manually.
11.7.2.1 How to assign the IP address
If necessary, you can assign the IP address manually. It is assumed that you have con-
nected controller PC and the instrument.
To assign the IP address manually on the instrument
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the R&S SMB100B and the IP address
for the local default gateway from your network administrator. If necessary, also
obtain the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS server on
your network.
2. On the instrument, select "System Config > Remote Access > Network".
3. Select "Address Mode > Static".
4. Select the "IP Address".
5. Enter the IP address, for example 192.168.0.1.
The IP address consists of four number blocks separated by dots. Each block con-
tains 3 numbers in maximum.
6. Select the "Subnet Mask" and enter the subnet mask, for example 255.255.255.0.
The subnet mask consists of four number blocks separated by dots. Each block
contains 3 numbers in maximum.
Note: The subnet mask must be the same for both, the R&S SMB100B and the
host interface, the instrument is connected to.
To assign the IP address manually on the computer
► Obtain the necessary information from your network administrator. If you use more
than one LAN connector, you need separate address information for each connec-
tor.
For information on how to configure the address information, see the documenta-
tion of the operating system the computer uses.
11.7.2.2 How to use the hostname
In a LAN that uses a DNS server, each computer or instrument connected in the LAN
can be addressed with an unambiguous Hostname (also referred to as computer
name) instead of the IP address. The DNS server translates the hostname to the IP
address.
