3.5 Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection
A LAN connection is the prerequisite for all network operations. The LAN connec-
tion settings can be configured directly in the Windows operating system, or with
LXI (LAN eXtension for Instruments).
The R&S FPL1000 is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to
an Ethernet LAN (local area network). Provided the network administrator has
assigned you the appropriate rights and adapted the Windows firewall configura-
tion, you can use the interface, for example:
●
To transfer data between a controlling device and the test device, e.g. to run a
remote control program.
See chapter "Remote Control" in the R&S FPL1000 user manual.
●
To access or control the measurement from a remote computer using the
"Remote Desktop" application (or a similar tool)
●
To connect external network devices (e.g. printers)
●
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 follow-
ing topics:
●
Chapter 3.5.1, "Connecting the Instrument to the Network", on page 30
●
Chapter 3.5.2, "Assigning the IP Address", on page 31
Note that only user accounts with administrator rights can configure LAN net-
works.
