Connecting to LAN

Option: R&S HO732 dual Ethernet / USB interface

Equipped with the interface, the R&S HMP provides Ethernet (LAN) connectivity.

If you have assigned the corresponding rights, you can use this interface for remote control and data transfer from a controller PC. Make sure that you have connected the controller PC in the same network.

Consult your network administrator before performing the following tasks to avoid a network failure:

● Connecting the instrument to the network

● Configuring the network

● Changing IP addresses

For remote control over other interfaces, refer to the description in chapter "Network and remote control operation" in the user manual of the R&S HMP.

To operate securely

1.

NOTICE! The R&S HMP is designed to operate at local workplaces or in secured networks (LAN).

When connected to the LAN, the R&S HMP can potentially be accessed from the internet, which constitutes a security risk. For example, attackers can misuse or damage your device.

Use secured connections for internet or remote access, if applicable.

2. Ensure that the network settings comply with the security policies of your company. Contact your local system administrator or IT department before connecting your product to your company LAN.

3. Always install the latest firmware.

.

1.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. In series or parallel setups, you achieve higher voltages and currents. Observe the safety information in

"Working with hazardous voltages" on page 8.

Ensure that all products are grounded by connecting them to the AC power.

2. Connect the LAN socket using an RJ-45 cable to the LAN.

By default, the R&S HMP uses DCHP that assigns the IP address automatically.

If the R&S HMP cannot obtain an IP address automatically, it returns a timeout message after about three minutes and clears the parameters in the

"Interface settings" dialog. Possible reasons are that the LAN does not support DCHP or requires a specific TCP/IP configuration, or that the connection is missing.

3. If the time-out message is displayed, proceed as follows: a) Check the LAN connection of both, the R&S HMP and the controller PC.

b) Consult your network administrator to request support and an IP address, if necessary.

c) If necessary, assign the IP address manually as described in chapter "Network operation and remote control > Adjusting the interface addresses >

LAN interface" in the user manual.

If connected and switched on, the R&S HMP indicates the address information and LAN parameters in the "Interface Settings HO732" dialog.

See "General instument functions > Interfaces" in the user manual. For information on how to control the instrument remotely, see "Network and reomte control operation > Operating the instrument remotely" in the user manual.
