2.12.2 Remote Desktop Connection
Remote Desktop is a Windows
®
application which you can use to access and control
the analyzer from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the measure-
ment is running, the analyzer screen contents are displayed on the remote computer,
and Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications, files, and network
resources of the analyzer.
At the R&S ZNB/ZNBT by default remote connections are enabled using a local group
policy and remote access is granted to users instrument and administrator.
For detailed information about Remote Desktop and the connection refer to the Win-
dows
®
Help ("Windows Start Menu > Help and Support").
To establish a remote desktop connection, proceed as follows:
1. Connect remote Windows PC and VNA to the LAN and make sure an IP connec-
tion can be established.
2. At the remote Windows PC open a remote desktop connection (type "Remote
Desktop Connection" at the Windows Start/Search menu and hit enter).
3. In the "Remote Desktop Connection" dialog enter the VNA's computer name or IP
address and select "Connect"
For instruments equipped with controller LPW11, if no external monitor is connected at
the time a user logs in to the instrument via remote desktop, Windows
®
displays the
following error message:
This can be safely ignored.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects an instrument by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access
to it through a network. In the default configuration of the R&S ZNB/ZNBT the firewall
is enabled. A remote desktop connection does not require any changes in the firewall
settings.
Administrator account
You need administrator rights to change the firewall settings. See note on "User
accounts and password protection" on page 74 above for details.
