The R&S SMW supports remote operation via VNC with any web browser, like Win-
dows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox for instance, or alternatively, an HTML5 web
browser.
To operate the instrument via a web browser remotely:
1. Install the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) on the remote computer.
Note: Skip this step if you are working with an HTML5 web browser.
2. Type the instruments' IP address in the address field of the web browser on your
PC, e.g. http://10.113.1.151
The VNC authentication screen appears.
3. Enter the password and confirm with "OK".
The default password is Instrument.
After the connection is established, the current screen of the signal generator is
displayed and the instrument can be remotely operated from the remote computer.
