10.9.3 Accessing the R&S SMW File System via SMB (Samba)
The SMB (Samba) protocol is an alternative way to access the file system of the instru-
ment from a remote PC. This protocol works if both the instrument and the PC are con-
nected to a LAN.
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 the R&S SMW as a network drive to the remote PC
We assume that the instrument and the remote PC are connected to a LAN.
1. Enable file transfer via SMB (Samba)
2. Enable write permission on the file system
3. On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer.
Open the "Map Network Drive" dialog.
a) Select a valid "Drive", e.g. W.
b) In the "Folder" field, enter //<"IP Address" of the Instrument>/
share or //<"Hostname" of the Instrument>/share
For example: 10.113.10.91/share or //SMW200A-102030/share (previous syn-
tax: //rssmw200a102030/share).
Tip: The R&S SMW indicates IP address on the screen.
For the use of the host name, see Chapter 2.1.4.2, "Using Computer Names
(Hostnames)", on page 46.
c) Select "Finish".
A log-on dialog opens and requests a user name and a password.
The default user name and password is instrument.
