Avoid parallel connections

Never use both LAN connectors to connect the analyzer in parallel to the same net-

work as this will result in connection errors.

1.8 Remote Desktop Connection

Remote Desktop is a Windows

application which can be used to access and control

the analyzer from a remote computer through a LAN connection. While the measure-

ment is running, the analyzer screen contents are displayed on the remote computer,

and Remote Desktop provides access to all of the applications, files, and network

resources of the analyzer.

On analyzers running Windows 7, by default remote connections are enabled using a

local group policy and remote access is granted to users instrument and administrator.

To enable remote connections to an instrument running Windows XP, proceed as fol-

lows:

1. As described above, connect the analyzer to the LAN and configure the LAN

TCP/IP interface (see chapter 1.7, "Connecting to a LAN", on page 25).

Memorize the analyzer's IP address ("Info – Setup Info – Instrument Information" at

the NWA GUI).

2. At the analyzer, press the Windows button to access the start menu and open the

Control Panel.

3. Allow remote desktop connections ("Control Panel – System – Properties –

Remote tab – Allow users to connect remotely to this computer")

To set up the connection, run the Remote Desktop Connection application at the

remote Windows PC and connect to the analyzer's IP address.

Password protection

The analyzer uses a user name and password as credentials for remote access. In the

factory configuration, the user name is "instrument"; the password is "894129". To pro-

tect the analyzer from unauthorized access, it is recommended to change the factory

setting.

On network analyzers equipped with a Windows XP version earlier than 5.1 Service

Pack 3, "instrument" is preset for both the user name and the password. The Windows

XP version appears in the "Info" dialog ("Info > Setup Info > Instrument Information") or

in the "System Properties" dialog of Windows XP's control panel ("Start Settings >

Control Panel > System > General").
