Setting up a USB connection from a PC to the R&S SGS
If your network does not support DHCP, you can set a USB connection between a 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 USB cable.
The new instrument should appear automatically.
If the instrument does not appear automatically, you can open the "Setup > Instru-
ments > Configure Instruments" dialog and click "Scan".
3. If your network does not support DHCP, you can now set a static IP address to
your computer.
a) Assign a static IP address to the instrument, see "Assigning a static IP address
to the R&S SGS" on page 26.
b) Assign a static IP address to the PC, see "Assigning a static IP address to your
Windows-PC network card" on page 27.
c) Edit the instrument settings, see Chapter 6.4.2.5, "How to Edit Instruments",
on page 69
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 2-2 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 5.2, "Setups for Connecting an R&S SGS and an R&S SGU",
on page 42.
