Assigning the IP address
Depending on the network capacities, the TCP/IP address information for the
instrument 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 auto-
matically.
●
If the network does not support DHCP, the instrument tries to obtain the IP
address via Zeroconf (APIPA) protocol. If this attempt does not succeed or if
the instrument is set to use, alternate TCP/IP configuration, the addresses
must be set manually, see
"Setting up a dedicated network connection"
The R&S
SGT uses the Zeroconf IP addresses 169.254.xxx.yyy, where xxx
takes values between 1...254 and yyy the values in the value range 1...255;
the subnet mask is always 255.255.0.0. The IP address of the host must be
within the same address area for Zeroconf.
Assigning a static IP address to the R&S
SGT
Prerequisites: A connection is established between the R&S
SGT and the control-
ler with installed SGMA-GUI.
For how to set up a LAN connection, see
Chapter 4.13.2.1, "Connecting to the

1. Open "SGMA-GUI > Instrument > Setup > Network Settings" dialog.
2. Set the "Address Mode" to "Static".
3. Enter the "IP Address", for example
192.168.0.1.
.
4. Enter the "Subnet mask", for example
255.255.255.0
.
5. Enter the "Default Gateway", for example
192.168.0.1
.
Assigning a static IP address to your Windows-PC network card
1. Obtain the IP address and subnet mask for the R&S
SGT and the IP address
for the local default gateway from your network administrator. If necessary,
also obtain the name of your DNS domain and the IP addresses of the DNS
