d) Select the "Jumbo Frames" property and the "Value":"9014 Bytes".
Note: Sometimes, this setting causes problems in Windows, but it is an impor-
tant prerequisite for correct operation of the R&S TSME6.
See "Does the host provide a Gbit LAN connector and support 9k jumbo
frames?" on page 65.
10. Close the control panel, reboot the host PC and check if you can establish the con-
nection (see Chapter 7.1, "Guide to solve instrument connection problems",
on page 64).
If your firewall is active, make sure that it is configured as described in "Firewall config-
uration" on page 21.
Firewall configuration
The firewall can be turned off on the LAN interface or on with all the mandatory config-
urations.
If your firewall is active, make sure that your program is allowed to communicate
through the firewall. The following ports must be available:
●
RxPort (R&S TSME6->PC): Port 17476
●
TxPort (PC->R&S TSME6): Port 5140 and 16962
Also, the following parameters must be configured to decide if a specific program is
allowed to pass the firewall.
●
Multicast IP address for R&S TSME: 224.17.4.76
●
Multicast Address for R&S TSME6: 239.192.1.7
●
IP-Address of R&S TSME6 has to be allowed as well: 192.168.0.2 (example)
Note: In "full auto-IP" mode, the IP address generated for the R&S TSME6 has to
be allowed.
●
Allow UDP Protocol
●
Allow Multicast Protocol
●
Allow executed application (ROMES, R&S NESTOR, R&S TSME Device Manager
as examples)
●
Allow Network-Interface R&S TSME are connected to
●
Allow network profile active on Network-IF R&S TSME is connected to
Even if all these parameters are set properly, this rule can be overwritten in Windows
Firewall by a blocking rule. Furthermore on the first execution of a program, windows
ask the user to decide on which network profiles communication through the firewall
shall be allowed. If it is set correctly by the user, the firewall is in a good state.
Connecting the R&S TSME6 to the host PC
The R&S TSME6 has a built-in 1000BASE-T (802.3ab), 1 Gbit/s Ethernet interface.
The host PC must have a separate 1 Gbit network interface card with an independent
LAN connection.
