To access files and the file system of the instrument or to use the general file management functions such as copying and moving data, use the standard "File Manager" dialog.
- Connect a memory stick to one of the USB interfaces.
The instrument recognizes automatically a connected memory stick. - Connect the instrument to a LAN.
For information on how to set up a LAN connection, refer to "Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection".An instrument connected to a LAN supports the standard file transfer methods from a remote client:– FTP (file transfer protocol)
see "To access the file system of the R&S SMC via ftp"– File sharing according to the SAMBA/SMB (server message block) protocol
see "To access the file system of the R&S SMC via SMB (Samba)"
Both file transfer methods access the folder /var/user/share.
This section provides an introduction to this topic. For comprehensive information, refer to the Application Note 1GP72 "Connectivity of Rohde&Schwarz Signal Generators".
If the R&S SMC is connected to a LAN and the required configurations are completed, you can use File Transfer Protocol (ftp) to access the file system and to transfer files from and to the instrument.
Connect the instrument and the remote PC to a LAN.
Find out the "IP Address" of the instrument:
Select "Setup > Environment > Network Settings".
Write down the "IP Address" of the instrument, e.g. 10.113.10.105.
On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer.
In the address field, enter ftp://<"IP Address" of the Instrument>, e.g. ftp://10.113.10.105
A log on dialog opens and requests a password.
Tip: Default password. The FTP file access use the user instrument with default password instrument.
It is highly recommended that you change the user password in the "Security" dialog before connecting the instrument to the network!
See "Security".Enter the password to access the /var/user/share directory.
You can access the files in the /var/user/ directory, perform standard function like creating directory, etc.
Open the /var/user/share directory and create a new directory, e.g. testftp.
On the instrument, press the FILE key and open the /var/user/share directory.
The dialog displays the testftp dircetory.
The SMB (Samba) protocol is an alternative way to access the file system of the instrument form a remote PC, if both the instrument and the PC are connected to a LAN.
Connect the instrument and the remote PC to a LAN.
Find out the "IP Address" of the instrument:
Select "Setup > Environment > Network Settings".
Write down the "IP Address" of the instrument, e.g. 10.113.10.105.
On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer and open the "Map Network Drive" dialog.
Select a valid "Drive", e.g. W.
In the "Folder" field, enter:
//<"IP Address" of the Instrument>/share or
//<"Hostname" of the Instrument>/share, e.g. //10.113.10.105/share
Select "Finish".
A log on dialog opens and requests an user name and a password.
Enter the user name and the password of your instrument.
The default user name and password is instrument.
Tip: Default password. The SAMBA/SMB file access use the user instrument with default password instrument.
It is highly recommended that you change the user password in the "Security" dialog before connecting the instrument to the network!
See "Security".The /var/user/share directory of the instrument is mapped to and displayed as a network drive of the remote PC.
You can access the files in this directory, perform standard function like creating directory, storing files, etc.
