2.6.1 Storing and Packing
The R&S OSP can be stored at the temperature range quoted in the data sheet. When
it is stored for a longer period of time the instrument should be protected against dust.
The original packing should be used, particularly the protective caps at the front and
rear, when the instrument is to be transported or dispatched. If the original packing is
no longer available, use a sturdy cardboard box of suitable size and carefully wrap the
instrument to protect it against mechanical damage.
2.7 Connecting External Accessories
The LAN interface at the rear panel of the R&S OSP120 or OSP130 is used for remote
control of the instrument:
● A LAN connection can be established in order to remotely control the instrument
from an external PC (see Connecting a LAN Cable).
In addition the R&S OSP120 provides interfaces for monitor connection and USB
connection:
● An external monitor shows the menus of the Linux Operating System, if any
access or setup within the Linux Operating System should be necessary.
● A keyboard simplifies the entry of data (see Connecting a Keyboard).
● A flash drive supports the firmware update (see Connecting a USB Flash Drive).
2.7.1 Connecting a USB Flash Drive
A USB flash drive can be connected to one of the USB Connectors on the front panel
of the R&S OSP120 or OSP130.
The flash drive is detected automatically when it is connected.
2.7.2 Connecting a Keyboard
A keyboard can be connected to one of the USB Connectors on the front panel of the
R&S OSP120.
The keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default input
language is English – US. Refer to chapter 2.10.1 for changing the keyboard
properties.

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.
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
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.
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
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).
Standby state
It is recommended to switch the R&S OSP to standby state before disconnecting it
from the AC supply.
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 - 17 27
The actual LAN configuration can be read out from the OSP by the following SCPI
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.
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.
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 - 17 28
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.

2.9.1.2 Specific mode of LAN Configuration
The R&S OSP120 can be configured to enable gateway routing.
The actual LAN configuration is set to mode -> DHCP-STATIC
The LAN configuration can be setup using the OSP Panel application. See chapter
3.3.3.
The change over to DHCP-STATIC mode is achieved by the following SCPI command:
SYSTem:NETWork:STATic "<IpAddr>","<Netmask>","<Gateway>".
2.9.2 R&S OSP Panel
The R&S OSP120 has no elements for front panel operating. A “manual” operation is
achieved via the R&S application OSP Panel.
"OSP Panel" is a Windows application which can be used to access and control the
R&S OSP120 or the OSP130 from a remote computer through a LAN connection. The
OSP Panel allows full access to all R&S OSP functions.
To start the OSP Panel connection
4. Connect the R&S OSP to a LAN and determine its IP address; see Remote
Operation in a LAN. It is necessary to have a VISA library installed on your
computer.
5. Install the OSP Panel application on your computer (connected to the LAN). The
VISA libraries which are necessary for running the OSP Panel are available on a
separate disc (NI-VISA I/O Library)..
6. Start the OSP Panel, specify the correct IP address in the OSP Panel, and the
R&S OSP can be manually controlled.
For detailed information about OSP Panel refer to the chapter 3.3 R&S OSP Panel
Functions.
