Querying the computer name using the firmware
In the firmware, "host name" is used as synonym for "computer name".
1. In the "Help" menu, click "About DVMS".
2. Under "Computer Name", read out the name.
Naming rule for the default computer name
The default computer name is composed as follows:
<instrument short name>-<serial number>
Example: RS-DVMS1-100104
The serial number consists of 6
digits and is printed on the cabinet of the R&S
DVMS.
Networks without DHCP server
In networks that assign fixed IP addresses, the network administrator usually config-
ures the network card. Contact your network administrator. The IP address is set using
the Windows
7 "Start" menu. For details, see the Windows
7 help system.

Firewall Settings
By default, the Windows firewall is activated to protect the R&S
DVMS from an attack
of hostile users and programs. The Windows firewall suppresses all network communi-
cation which is not initialized by the R&S
DVMS itself or which is not defined as an
exception.
To enable data transfer or to allow access to the R&S
DVMS, define exceptions using
the Windows
7 "Start" menu. For details, see the Windows
7 documentation or contact
your network administrator for support.
