Connecting to the
RTSA7550
2.
Connect the provided Ethernet cable to both your PC's and the
RTSA7550
Ethernet
ports.
3.
Power up the
RTSA7550
and wait a minute for it to complete booting.
4.
Check to ensure that either your PC's or the
RTSA7550
LINK indicator is
illuminated.
If it is not then your PC may not support automatic crossover on its
Ethernet
connection and you may require an RJ-45 crossover Ethernet cable as
specified
in the section.
5.
If you're using static IP allocation then skip to the next step. Otherwise, check the
STS LED for the Auto-IP setup completion (take a minute or longer).
Note:
While the
RTSA7550
is searching for a DHCP server, the STS LED blinks yellow
slowly
until it obtains an IP address either via DHCP or Auto-IP. The STS LED blinks in a
green heartbeat pattern if it has set up successfully to using an Auto-IP address.
Verify the host PC's IP configuration using the PyRF Discovery Tool. With a
Windows OS, open a Command window and type
ipconfig
to show the IP
addresses assigned to each interface. The Ethernet interface should show a
169.254.x.y address as seen in the following picture as an example.
6.
Use the PyRF Discovery tool or the S240 Real-Time Spectrum Analysis Software
(as shown in the following figure), both provided by
BNC
, to determine the
assigned IP address of the
RTSA7550
. In order for the Discovery tool to locate
the
RTSA7550
, both your computer and the
RTSA7550
must be configured for
the same
subnet. If you are using Auto-IP dynamic IP allocation, then they will
both be on
the same 169.254.x.y subnet. If you are using static IP and the
Discovery tool
cannot locate the
RTSA7550
, then you need to have prior
knowledge of its static IP
address or use the USB console.
