Installing MT8870A Configuration Software (Utility Tool)
The Utility Tool installer and the operation manual are included on the DVD labeled MT8870A
Universal Wireless Test Set. Load this DVD into the optical drive of the PC.
Run setup.exe in the path /MT8870A/Installer/MT8870A Utility Tool/setup.exe on the DVD.
Follow the on-screen instructions to select the Utility Tool installation directory.
If the MU887000A/01A TRX module is installed in the MT8870A, Utility Tool v01.01.17 or newer
(released in August 2013) is required. Requires
Utility Tool v02.00.04 (released in July 2021) or newer
when using MU887002A. If the version on the DVD is older, obtain a newer version from the Anritsu
web site. Get the latest Utility Tool from the Anritsu Web site as described in Chapter 4.

Changing PC Network Configuration
The Utility Tool can control the MT8870A via both GPIB and Ethernet, but functions requiring file
transfer, such as updating firmware or installing waveform files can be used only with an Ethernet
connection. It is best to use an Ethernet connection when performing initial configuration even when
using GPIB control for system operation.
To control the MT8870A via Ethernet connection using the Utility Tool, the PC network configuration
must match the MT8870A network configuration.
If the PC is connected to a company network, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the PC.
