If the network does not support DHCP, or if the analyzer is set to use alternate
TCP/IP configuration, the addresses must be set manually.
By default, the analyzer is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and obtain
all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish a physical
connection to the LAN without any previous analyzer configuration.
Manual TCP/IP configuration
If your network does not support DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP
configuration, you must assign valid address information before you connect the ana-
lyzer to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address,
because connection errors can affect the entire network.
Administrator account
You need administrator rights to change the TCP/IP configuration. See note on "User
accounts and password protection" on page 74 for details.
The R&S ZNBT provides a miniature display in the upper right-hand corner of the front
panel indicating the current IP address of the instrument. See "Mini display"
on page 32.
To enter the TCP/IP address information manually
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the analyzer and the IP address for the
local default gateway from your network administrator. If necessary, also obtain the
name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers on
your network.
2. For the R&S ZNBT connect an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.
3. Press the Windows key in the SYSTEM keypad (R&S ZNB only) or on an external
keyboard to access Windows
