Accessing the file system
Data transfer is possible via a memory stick connected to a USB interface. The mem-
ory stick and the hard disk are accessed via the SAVE/RCL > "File Manager" function.
The instrument also supports two standard methods to access the file system from a
remote client:
●
FTP (file transfer protocol)
●
File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol.
Both methods allow you the access to the folder /var/user/share.
Default password
The FTP and SAMBA file access use the user "instrument" with default password
"instrument".
We recommend that you change this password in the "Setup > Security > Password
Management > Change User Password" dialog before connecting the instrument to the
network.
See Chapter 11.5.4, "Password Management", on page 694.
2.1.3 Connecting USB Devices
The USB interfaces of the R&S SMW allow you to connect USB devices, including
USB hubs directly to the instrument. Due to the large number of available USB devi-
ces, there is almost no limit to the expansions that are possible with the R&S SMW.
The following list shows various USB devices that can be useful:
●
Memory stick for easy transfer of data to/from a computer (for example firmware
updates)
●
Keyboard or mouse to simplify the entry of data, comments, filenames, etc.
●
Power sensors of the R&S NRP families
All USB devices can be connected to or disconnected from the instrument during oper-
ation.
Connecting a USB storage device
When a USB storage device like a memory stick, a CD-ROM drive, or a hard disk is
connected, it is detected automatically. The device is made available as a new drive (/
usb). The name of the drive is manufacturer-dependent.
Connecting a keyboard
A keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default keyboard layout
is English – US.
Use the "Setup > User Interface > USB Keyboard Settings" dialog to configure the key-
board properties (see Chapter 2.1.5.2, "Setting the Keyboard Language",
on page 50).
