This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the following top-
ics:
●
Chapter 2.3.2.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network", on page 25
●
Chapter 2.3.2.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 26
●
Chapter 2.3.2.3, "Automatically Adding Instruments to the SGMA-GUI ",
on page 27
2.3.2.1 Connecting the Instrument to the Network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network.
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the instru-
ment and a single computer.
In both cases, an IP address has to be assigned to the instrument and the computer,
see Chapter 2.3.2.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 26.
Risk of network failure
Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks:
●
Connecting the instrument to the network
●
Configuring the network
●
Changing IP addresses
Errors can affect the entire network.
Setting up a non- dedicated network (LAN) connection
► Connect the instrument to the network or to a single PC.
If the instrument is connected to the LAN, the operating system automatically
detects the network connection and activates the required drivers.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically.
Setting up a dedicated network connection
If your network does not support DHCP, you can set a dedicated network connection
between a stand-alone PC and a R&S SGS
Prerequisite: the computer and the R&S SGS are turned on and running.
1. Start the R&S SGMA-GUI.
2. 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.
