The R&S LCX changes the FTP port address accordingly.
Note: The FTP address settings are retained by an instrument preset, and also
when you recall previously saved instrument settings, see Chapter 9.12, "Save/
recall", on page 133.
However, a factory reset presets the FTP address to the default value, see "Reset-
ting the instrument to the initial factory settings" on page 135.
Assigning the SCPI raw port and hostname manually
To assign the socket port and the instrument name manually:

Assigning the IP address manually on the controller PC
► Obtain the necessary information from your network administrator. If you use more
than one LAN connector, you need separate address information for each connec-
tor.
For information on how to configure the LAN settings, refer to the documentation of
the operating system the PC uses.
Selecting the USB communication class protocol
A USB connection requires the VISA library to be installed. VISA detects and config-
ures the R&S instrument automatically when the USB connection is established. You
do not have to enter an address string or install a separate driver. It is assumed that
you have connected controller PC and the instrument, see "Establishing a USB remote
control connection" on page 158
To install the driver and select the USB class:
1. Press the [settings] key at the front panel.
2. In the device settings menu, select "Interfaces" > "USB Class".
A selection dialog opens.
3. Select the communication protocol for the USB interface, e.g. "CDC".
4. Confirm your selection.
If you have changed the USB class, the R&S LCX displays a message that
prompts you to reboot.
