10.8.4 How to Map a Network Folder
Possibly you would like to transfer instrument or user settings to another R&S SMW,
distribute waveform files to several instruments or you have to access frequently the
same network drive. In these cases, on a R&S SMW connected to a LAN you can cre-
ate a shortcut to this network folder or this computer.
For information on how to set up a LAN connection, refer to:
●
Chapter 2.1.4, "Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection", on page 45
●
Chapter 12, "Network Operation and Remote Control", on page 702
To map a network folder, proceed as follows:
1. On the computer or the network folder you want to map, enable remote access.
You can specify a list of users allowed for remote access.
The remote access settings depend on the operating system the remote computer
is using. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the documentation of the particular
operating system.
2. On the R&S SMW, enable file transfer via SMB (samba).
3. Select "System Config > Setup > Remote Access > Network".
Select:
a) "Address Mode > Auto (DHCP)"
b) Check that the "DNS Suffix" and "DNS Server" are correct.
4. Press the SAVE/RCL key.
5. In the "Save/Recall" dialog, select "File Manager > Map Network Share".
6. In the "Map Network Share" dialog, select:
a) In the "Network Folder" field, enter //<IP Address>/share or //
<Server Name>/share, e.g. //10.113.10.228/share.
b) In the "Local Folder" field, enter an alias name, e.g. Setups.
c) Enter the "User Name" and "Password" of a user with a remote access permis-
sion to the selected network folder.
d) If necessary, enable "Reconnect at Startup".
e) Select "Connect".
The selected network folder is mapped to your instrument. The list of mapped net-
work folders is updated.
