R&S AFQ100A
Booting the R&S AFQ
After instrument switch-on, the R&S signal generator automatically performs a system check, boots the
Windows XP operating system and subsequently boots the instrument firmware. If an external monitor
is connected to the instrument, the installed BIOS version and the processor characteristics are
indicated for a few seconds in the start display after instrument switch-on. During booting the status
LEDs in the AFQ´s front panel start to flash counterclockwise.
Immediately disable firewall for Remote Desktop
By default the firewall is on and remote desktop is disabled. Some actions require a different firewall
configuration, e.g. connecting to the instrument via remote desktop.
The firewall settings can be modified by pushing the trigger button during startup, i.e. while the LEDs
are flashing. When the user connects to the instrument via remote desktop he is asked if he wants
either permanently disable the firewall and enable the remote desktop or for the current session
only.
NOTICE Risk of changing the firewall settings!
Disabling the firewall or allowing exceptions may make the instrument more vulnerable
to viruses and intruders.
It is recommended to restore the default firewall configuration after completing a task
which requires modified settings.
After booting is completed, the front panel LED READY indicates that the instrument is ready to be
operated. The settings that were active before the last switch-off are established. With an external
monitor, the block diagram of the modulation generator is displayed.
Note:
If the software stops unexpectedly, the instrument can be rebooted by pressing the
approx. 5 s.
