Once you have attached the antennas, the next step is to power up and connect the Frontline BPA 600
hardware to the computer.

2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the PC.
The next thing to do is to turn on the devices that you will be testing.
2.1.3 BPA 600 ProbeSync
Any Frontline hardware with ProbeSync™ can be connected together to run off of a common clock, ensuring
precise timestamp synchronization.
Simply plug the supplied Cat 5 cable into the OUT connector on the sniffer that will be supplying the clock
and connect the other end to the IN connector on the sniffer receiving the clock. ( Figure 2.5 - ). If using a
BPA 600 analyzer with a different Frontline analyzer, the BPA 600 analyzer must provide the clock. Combined
cable length of all the ProbeSync cables connected at a given time should not exceed 1.5 meters (4.5 feet).
