2.6.3 Using Computer Names

assigned computer name, but this name can be changed.

The computer name is displayed under "Hostname".

The parameter "Hostname" in the "Network Settings" dialog is now enabled for con-
figuration.
3. Change the "Hostname".
2.7 Remote Access via an External Controller
The R&S SMBV can be remote accessed from a remote computer (external controller)
via a network link. This allows convenient operation of the instrument from the desktop
although the instrument is integrated in a rack somewhere else.
For an overview of the instrument's operating concept and the different ways to control
and operate the instrument, see chapter 3.1, "Brief Introduction to the Instrument's Con-
cept", on page 50.
