Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection

The R&S SMC is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an Ethernet LAN (local area network). Provided the appropriate rights have been assigned by the network administrator and the Linux firewall configuration is adapted accordingly, the interface can be used, for example:

  • To transfer data between a controller and the instrument, e.g. in order to run a remote control program.
    See "Remote Control Basics".
  • To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the R&S VISA or Ultr@VNC programs (or similar tools, like another VNC client or any Web browser supporting Java)
  • To transfer data from a remote computer and back, e.g. using network folders
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface. It includes the following topics:
Accessing Operating System

No access to the operating system is required for normal operation.

All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.
