error LAN connection but Remote Desktop works

[Y3G]

Hi ,

I have a Signal Generator connected via crossed cable in LAN. The "Remote Desktop" works perfectly fine, but the MAX doesn't see the device although I put the same address in. To mention that I don't use Remote Desktop and MAX at the same time.

Attached Error code.

Regards

Maybe it's the VISA string you are using. The R&S SMA100 Release notes show almost exactly the same string:

TCPIP::192.168.1.33::INSTR

If you have more than one Ethernet card, you may need to use a one instead of a 0 for the instance

TCPIP1::192.168.1.33::INSTR

You could also let MAX try and autodetect your instrument...

Hi,

The Error was initiated by MAX (see in the background) while trying to Autodetect.

An additional Info is that I am using 2 IP connections (USB2Ethernet and the normal 10Base connection)

While trying to ping from the DUT to the PC it worked but trying to ping from PC to DUT the ping "timed out" (=100% loss)

Doing IPCONFIG I can verify 2 Ethernet addresses.

Thanks for any hint.

Hi Y3G,

Would it be possible for you to unplug one of the ethernet devices from your computer temporarily and see if you could connect to it in MAX then? I'm a little concerned about IP address confusion/conflicts.

Best regards,
