CalPod Operational Check
A CalPod module may be tested using the CalPod Operational Check. For instructions, refer to
the CalPod portion of PNA Online Help at:

Calibration Types Not Supported by CalPods
Keysight 855xxA/B Series CalPods support almost all PNA S-parameter calibration types. The
exceptions are calibration types that do not include a return loss portion for the port connected
to the CalPod. An example of an unsupported calibration type is a Response Calibration.
When an unsupported calibration type is used, the CalPod software reports an error during
“Initialize Channel.”
Setting a Static IP Address on the PNA (When Using USB 2.0 to LAN Adapter)
When the CalPod Controller connects to the PNA via the USB 2.0 to LAN adapter, sometimes it
is necessary to manually set a Static IP address on the LAN interface. Multiple installations of
the CalPod Installation Package may require this procedure.
1. Minimize the PNA application to access the desktop.
2. Click Start > Settings > Network Connections.
There should be two or more listings with the name “Local Area ConnectionsN” (where N may be
blank or an arbitrary character).
3. Right-click on the last item in the list and select Properties.
The listing under “Connect using:” should display “ASIX AX88772 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet.”
If this text is not displayed, click Cancel and try another item in the list until this device is found.
4. In the listing under “This connection uses the following items:”, scroll down the list and highlight
“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).”
5. Click Properties or double-click the item on the list.
6. Click “Use the following IP address.”
7. Enter IP Address 192.168.0.1 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. “Default Gateway” can be left
blank.
8. Leave the DNS settings blank.
9. Click OK as necessary to close the dialog windows. If you are presented with a dialog window about
entering a different IP address, click No.
10.Return to “Step 7. Configure the CalPods” on page 1-15 and follow the steps to test and verify that
each CalPod is working.
