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.
●
Check the network infrastructure. Exchange connecting cables if obvious damage
is visible.
●
Observe the link status LED on the R&S SMA100B or the connected network
device. The link status LED is located next to the LAN connector.
If a link failure is detected, connect the instrument to a different device port or to a
different network device.
●
Check whether the LAN interface and the required LAN services are enabled.
See Chapter 11.4.3, "Configuring LAN Services", on page 340.
●
Check whether the IP address of the instrument is within the network's address
range.
(See also "IP Address" on page 360).

(APIPA) protocol are valid.
