9.9.3 Accessing the R&S
SMA100B File System via SMB (Samba)
The SMB (Samba) protocol is an alternative way to access the file system of the instru-
ment from a remote PC. This protocol works if both the instrument and the PC are con-
nected to a LAN.
For information on how to set up a LAN connection, refer to:
●
Chapter 2.1.3, "Setting Up a Network (LAN) Connection"
●
Chapter 11, "Network Operation and Remote Control"
To map the R&S
SMA100B as a network drive to the remote PC
We assume that the instrument and the remote PC are connected to a LAN.
1.
Enable file transfer via SMB (Samba)
2.
Enable write permission on the file system
3. On the remote PC, start the Windows Explorer.
Open the "Map Network Drive" dialog.
a) Select a valid "Drive", e.g.
W
.
b) In the "Folder" field, enter
//<"IP Address" of the Instrument>/
share
or
//<"Hostname" of the Instrument>/share
For example:
10.113.10.91/share
or
//SMA100B-102030/share
(previous syn-
tax:
//rssmw200a102030/share
).
Tip:
The R&S
SMA100B indicates IP address on the screen.
c) Select "Finish".
