It is recommended that you neither change the default network settings nor the host
name in order to avoid problems with the network connection.
However, if you change the host name be sure to use an unique name.
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:COMMon]:HOSTname on page 828
Workgroup
Sets the individual windows workgroup name of the R&S SMBV. This parameter is
required in case the instrument is integrated in a windows network.
Note: Since the workgroup name of the instrument is a protected parameter, you must
first unlock protection level 1 to enable the entry (see Chapter 5.2.3.17, "Protection",
on page 146).
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:COMMon]:WORKgroup on page 829
Address Mode
Selects the mode for assigning the IP address.
"Auto (DHCP)"
Assigns the IP address automatically, provided the network supports
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The network used must support automatic assignment of the IP
address via DHCP or APIPA (Zeroconf) in order to use this function.
"Static"
Enables you to assign the IP address manually.
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork:IPADdress:MODE on page 829
IP Address
Displays the IP address.
By default, the R&S SMBV is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and to
obtain the whole address information automatically.
If the network does not support DHCP or the attempt does not succeed, the instrument
tries to obtain the IP address via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. IP addresses assigned via
Zeroconf start with the number blocks 169.254.*.*.
Note: An IP address that is assigned via the Zeroconf protocol while the network
requires an IP address assigned via the DHCP server may cause network connection
failures.
See Chapter 9.5, "Resolving Network Connection Failures", on page 858.
To assign the IP address manually, select Address Mode "Static".
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork:IPADdress on page 830
Subnet Mask
Displays the bit group of the subnet in the host identifier.
To assign the subnet mask manually, select Address Mode "Static".
Remote command:
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:NETWork[:IPADdress]:SUBNet:MASK on page 830
