2.1.2 Connecting USB Devices
The USB interfaces of the R&S SMA100B allow you to connect USB devices, including
USB hubs directly to the instrument. Due to the large number of available USB devices, there is almost no limit to the expansions that are possible with the
R&S SMA100B.
The following list shows various USB devices that can be useful:
●
Memory stick for easy transfer of data to/from a computer (for example firmware
updates)
●
Keyboard or mouse to simplify the entry of data, comments, filenames, etc.
●
Power sensors of the R&S NRP families
All USB devices can be connected to or disconnected from the instrument during operation.
Connecting a USB storage device
When a USB storage device like a memory stick, a CD-ROM drive, or a hard disk is
connected, it is detected automatically. The device is made available as a new drive (/
usb). The name of the drive is manufacturer-dependent.
Connecting a keyboard
A keyboard is detected automatically when it is connected. The default keyboard layout
is English – US.
Use the "Setup > User Interface > USB Keyboard Settings" dialog to configure the keyboard properties (see Chapter 11.1.4.1, "Setting the Keyboard Language",
on page 321).

2.1.3 Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
Connecting a mouse
A mouse is detected automatically when it is connected.
The R&S SMA100B is equipped with a network interface and can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN (local area network). Provided the appropriate rights have been assigned
by the network administrator, the interface can be used, for example:
●
To transfer data between a controller and the instrument, for example to run a
remote control program.
See Chapter 12, "Network Operation and Remote Control", on page 346.
●
To access or operate the instrument from a remote computer using the Ultr@VNC
program (or a similar tool, like another VNC client or any Web browser supporting
Java).
●
To transfer data from a remote computer and back, for example using network folders.
●
To use power sensors with netwok capability, e.g. the R&S NRP LAN power sensors.
This section describes how to configure the LAN interface.
Accessing operating system
No access to the operating system is required for normal operation.
All necessary system settings can be made in the "Setup" dialog.
2.1.3.1 Connecting the Instrument to the Network
There are two methods to establish a LAN connection to the instrument:
●
A non-dedicated network (Ethernet) connection from the instrument to an existing
network
●
A dedicated network connection (Point-to-point connection) between the instrument and a single computer
For addressing, both the instrument and the computer reqiure an IP address. The
address information is usually assigned to the devices automatically, depending on the
network capabilities.
If the IP address is not assigned automatically, see Chapter 2.1.3.3, "Assigning the IP
Address", on page 30 for information on how to assign the address manually.
