2.7.3 Connecting a Monitor
A standard monitor can be connected to the DVI-D connector on the front panel of the
R&S OSP120.
Monitor configuration
There is no particular configuration of the monitor required.
Operating the R&S OSP120 does not require a monitor. Usually all essential functions
can be control via LAN interface.
Monitor connection
The monitor must be connected while the instrument is switched off (in standby mode).
Otherwise correct operation can not be guaranteed.
A LAN cable can be connected to the LAN connector on the rear panel of the
R&S OSP120 or OSP130. To establish a LAN connection proceed as follows:
Refer to chapter Assigning an IP Address and learn how to avoid connection errors.
Connect an appropriate LAN cable to the LAN port. Use a commercial RJ-45 cable to
establish a non-dedicated network connection, or a cross-over RJ-45 cable to
establish a dedicated connection between the instrument and a single PC.
The monitor displays the menus of the Linux Operating System which is integral part of
the R&S OSP120. The monitor together with keyboard is required if any setups /
changes have to be done in the Linux operating system.
2.7.4 Connecting a LAN Cable
Dedicated vs. non-dedicated network connections
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection of the R&S OSP:
● A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network made with an ordinary RJ-45 network cable. The instrument is assigned an
IP address and can coexist with a computer and with other hosts on the same
network.
● A dedicated network connection between the instrument and a single computer
made with a cross-over RJ-45 network cable. The computer must be equipped
with a network adapter and is directly connected to the instrument. The use of
hubs, switches, or gateways is not needed, however, data transfer is still made
using the TCP/IP protocol.

2.8 Starting the R&S OSP and Shutting Down
Standby state
It is recommended to switch the R&S OSP to standby state before disconnecting it
from the AC supply.
To start the R&S OSP, proceed as follows:
● Make sure that the instrument is connected to the AC power supply and switch
the power switch (see chapter 2.5.7) on the rear panel to position I (On). All
modules of the R&S OSP are powered (the left PWR LED is green) and after
about 30 seconds the instrument is in ready state.
● If necessary, press the STANDBY toggle switch (see chapter 2.5.9) on the front
panel to switch the instrument to ready state (the left PWR LED is green).
● In ready state, the instrument already has booted the Linux Operating System
(see chapter 2.10) and started the R&S OSP application. Independent of the last
setup, the R&S OSP always starts with the default conditions, i.e. all relays in
reset condition.
To shut down the R&S OSP, proceed as follows:
● Press the STANDBY key, which will shut down the Linux operating system and
set the instrument to standby state.
● If desired, set the AC power switch to position 0 (Off).
2.9 Remote Operation in a LAN
A LAN connection is used to integrate the R&S OSP (not the OSP150) into a
home/company network. The LAN connection is required for:
● Remote control operation of the R&S OSP120 or OSP130.
● Manual control of the R&S OSP from a remote computer using the "OSP Panel"
application.
To establish the connection proceed as follows:
● Assign an IP address to the R&S OSP following the directions below and connect
the instrument to the network as described in chapter 2.7.4, Connecting a LAN
Cable.
2.9.1 Assigning an IP Address
There are two different modes for the OSP LAN configuration. The OSP as it is
delivered works in the LAN configuration as described in chapter 2.9.1.1.
With OSP firmware version 2.51 onwards, the OSP LAN configuration can be setup as
described in chapter 2.9.1.2.
R&S OSP Preparing for Use
Operating Manual 1505.3896.12 - 15 29
The actual LAN configuration can be read out from the OSP by the following SCPI
Valid IP addresses
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
R&S OSP to the LAN. Contact your network administrator to obtain a valid IP address,
because connection errors can affect the entire network.
command:
SYSTem:NETWork:MODe?
2.9.1.1 Default mode of LAN Configuration
The actual LAN configuration is set to mode -> DHCP_AUTO
Depending on the network capacities, the IP address information for the R&S OSP120
or R&S OSP130 can be obtained in different ways.
● If the network supports dynamic TCP/IP configuration using the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), all address information can be assigned
automatically.
● If the network does not support DHCP, or if the instrument is set to use alternate
TCP/IP configuration, a static IP address is used.
By default, the R&S OSP is configured either to use:
● A 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 R&S OSP configuration.
(Priority 1)
● A user defined static IP address. This address can be defined (but must not) in
addition to the default address. See chapter 3.3.3 for information how to configure
the user defined IP address via the OSP Panel application.
(Priority 2)
● A static default IP address. Per default, the R&S OSP is set to the IP address
192.168.48.147. See also chapter 3.1.
(Priority 3)
Please note the priorities shown above which is related to IP address handling done
by the OSP.
Reading the IP address
When using the dynamic TCP/IP configuration, the actual IP address information will
be displayed when booting the R&S OSP. Proceed as follows:
Connect the R&S OSP via a commercial RJ-45 cable to your network supporting
DHCP
R&S OSP Preparing for Use
Operating Manual 1505.3896.12 - 15 30
Switch on the R&S OSP120 with Monitor and Keyboard connected (not applicable to
the OSP130)
At the end of the booting process, the IP address will be displayed as shown below for
the OSP120 and the OSP130. The values of the IP address shown are only examples.
Press Okay button or the ENTER key on the keyboard (OK key for the R&S OSP130)
for confirmation and to continue the operation.
Manual TCP/IP configuration
If your network does not support DHCP, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the R&S OSP120 or OSP130 via a cross-over RJ-45 cable to your
computer (or network not supporting DHCP).
2. Set the network configuration of your computer to work with a static IP address.
The following setup is recommended:
3. Switch on the R&S OSP and wait until boot-up is finished.
The R&S OSP now can be accessed under its default IP address from your computer.
