Setting Up the
Analyzer
Warning For your safety, the power cord supplied with the analyzer has a
grounded plug. Always use the power cord with a properly grounded
mains power outlet to avoid electrical shock.
If you will be converting data captured by the analyzer into HP
Broadband Series Test System (BSTS) captured data files, you must
install the Data Conversion Utility (p/n E5200-10010). See the
Installing/Upgrading Software section in the
HP BSTS System
Installation & Startup Guide .
After you have prepared the analyzer for use, back up the analyzer’s hard
disk to the notebook PC or workstation; then archive this data using
backup storage media. See “To Back Up and Restore Files” on page 1-23.
To Connect the Analyzer as a Standalone System
You should connect the analyzer as a standalone system for onsite
testing, for example, at an installation site or a monitoring point. There
are two ways you can connect the analyzer as a standalone system:
•
point-to-point ethernet interface
•
point-to-point serial interface
Normally, you would use the point-to-point ethernet interface. You can
use the point-to point serial interface as a backup connection when there
is a problem with the ethernet interface, or when you need to set up the
configuration parameters for a networked system. See “To Change
Configuration Parameters” on page 1-20.
The computer to which you connect your analyzer should only contain
the software specified in “Analyzer Software” on page 1-4.
