R&S AFQ100A
Accessing Directories in the Network
Access to network drives depends on access rights and whether the drives in question have been
enabled. The complete integration of the R&S AFQ into a larger network with the necessary allocation
of rights is highly complex and normally performed by a network administrator.
However, the hard disk of a computer also connected to the network can be accessed from the
R&S AFQ relatively easily. The only precondition for this is that the desired directory the R&S AFQ
should access is enabled on the remote computer. Subsequently, this directory is accessed from the
R&S AFQ using a Windows XP search function.
This procedure is also of importance for a point-to-point connection, for instance in order to start a
firmware update for which the files have been stored on the hard disk of the remote computer.
Note:
The computer and the modulation generator must both be equipped with a computer name and an
IP address (see section
