3.5.4 Changing the Windows Firewall Settings
A firewall protects an instrument by preventing unauthorized users from gaining
access to it through a network. Rohde & Schwarz highly recommends the use of
the firewall on your instrument. Rohde & Schwarz instruments are shipped with
the Windows firewall enabled and preconfigured in such a way that all ports and
connections for remote control are enabled.
For more details on firewall configuration, see the following Rohde & Schwarz
White Paper:

Note that changing firewall settings requires administrator rights.
