● "SCPI Raw Port": A port number used to open a raw TCP/IP connection to
send raw SCPI commands to the instrument
● "Desired Hostname": The name assigned to the instrument used to identify it in
the network
● "DNS Hostname","mDNS Hostname" : The name assigned to the domain
name used to identify it in the network
When the connection is available, the network icon is highlighted in white on the device
status bar information.
6.15.1.1 LAN Connection
The R&S NGP800 is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). A LAN connection is necessary for remote control
of the instrument, and for access from a computer using a web browser.
Risk of network failure
Before connecting the instrument to the network or configuring the network, consult
your network administrator. Errors may affect the entire network.
To establish a network connection, connect a commercial RJ-45 cable to the LAN port
of the instrument and to a PC or network switch.
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the instru-
ment can be obtained in different ways.
●
If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and a DHCP server is available, all address infor-
mation can be assigned automatically.
●
Otherwise, the address must be set manually. Automatic Private IP Addressing
(APIPA) is not supported.
By default, the instrument is configured to use dynamic TCP/IP configuration and
obtain all address information automatically. This means that it is safe to establish a
physical connection to the LAN without any previous instrument configuration.
Risk of network errors
Connection errors can affect the entire network. If your network does not support
DHCP, or if you choose to disable dynamic TCP/IP configuration, you must assign valid
address information before connecting the instrument to the LAN. Contact your net-
work administrator to obtain a valid IP address.
1. Connect the LAN cable to the LAN connector at the rear panel of the instrument.
