The list of supported devices is different according to the smart device.
1. Refer to the manufacturer's website of your smart device to find out whether a
reader is available for your device, and how it is installed.
2. Install the required QR code reader software on your device.
3. Start the reader.
4. On the R&S SMW, select "System Config > Remote Access".
5. In the "Remote Access" dialog, select the "QR-Code" tab.
6. Scan the QR code of the instrument with your smart device.
7. On the device, decode the scanned QR code and pass it to the web browser.
A dialog opens requesting the password for the VNC connection.
8. Enter the password and confirm with "OK".
The default password is instrument.

13.10.1 LXI Functionality
LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI) is an instrumentation platform for measuring
instruments and test systems that is based on standard Ethernet technology.
LXI is intended to be the LAN-based successor to GPIB, combining the advantages of
Ethernet with the simplicity and familiarity of GPIB. Like GPIB, LXI determines and
standardizes the way the instrument behaves in a LAN.
The LXI implementation in the R&S SMW allows you to change certain LAN settings,
to reset the LAN connection, and to identify the instrument.
For information about the LXI standard, refer to the LXI website at http://www.lxistan-
dard.org.
See also "News from Rohde & Schwarz, article 2006/II - 190".
The LXI functionality in the R&S SMW is characterized by a common LAN implementa-
tion, including an ICMP ping responder for diagnostics. The instrument can be config-
ured via a web browser. A LAN Configuration Initialize (LCI) mechanism resets the
LAN configuration. The instrument also supports automatic detection in a LAN via the
VXI-11 discovery protocol and programming by IVI drivers.
