Configuring USB for Read-only
A convenient mechanism is provided to set the instrument’s USB interfaces to read-only, thus preventing
transfer of files from the instrument onto USB devices.
You can change this setting only when you are logged on as the Administrator. For details of how to log on to
the instrument as the Administrator, see the Agilent EXM Wireless Test Set: Getting Started Guide. To change
the setting, do the following:
1. If you are not currently logged on to the instrument as the Administrator, you must log off.
If you are currently logged on to the instrument as the Administrator, and the Agilent XSA application is
already running, go to Step 4.
The log-off procedure executes more quickly if you first exit the Agilent XSA application, but you can also
log off without exiting the application.
2. To log off, use one of the following procedures, depending on your instrument’s operating system:
a. For Windows XP, select Log Off from the Windows XP Start menu (as highlighted in Figure 7-4 below),
then click Log Off in the Log Off Windows dialog that appears.
