Terminating VNC connection
► Perform one of the following:
a) On an external Unix/Linux PC, close the Internet browser or close the signal
generator window.
b) On an external Windows PC, close the VNC viewer program.
The connection is terminated but not disabled. It can be established again any
time.
In the "Active Connections" tab, the displayed TCP/IP connection disappears.
Consider, however, the note concerning unauthorized access due to VNC connec-
tion ("Risk of unauthorized access" on page 703).
12.17.2 Setting Up a Remote Operation from a Smart Device
The R&S SMW supports remote operation via VNC from a smart device (remote cli-
ent), like a tablet (tablet computer) or a smartphone. The smart device accesses the
instrument via WLAN, either by a suitable App, or an HTML5 web browser, that means
with embedded javascript.
There are several possibilities to establish a WLAN connection between the smart
device and the R&S SMW, which are, however, not all described here. This section
gives an example of how a network environment can be built up, and some essential
configuration steps.
