AFD2 Setup
The AFD2 Kit:
The AFD2 kit comes with cables and items required to install and connect the
AFD2 in a lab. The AFD2 kit does not include
the IRIG receiver and antenna for
permanent installation at a particular site.
The kit contains these items:
• AFD2 chassis
• AFD2 chassis rack mount ears
• 3-foot sync cable
• 6-foot USB cable
The AFD2 installation uses the USB cable for communication and power. The
Ixia chassis automatically detects the connections.
Successful IRIG-B
Synchronization in
IxExplorer
In the Chassis Properties dialog of IxExplorer, after selection of IRIG-B as the
timer source, the IRIG-B status is displayed. In
Figure 15-3 on page 15-3, the
status is ‘locked’ to the 1PPS signal coming from the IRIG-B receiver. In the
chassis tree view of IxExplorer (
Figure 15-4 ), the chassis status is shown as
‘IRIG-B Ready’ if it has successfully locked onto the 1PPS signal.

Enabling/Installing IRIG-B Based Synchronization
This procedure to set the time source needs to be followed only for the initial
installation of the AFD2 IRIG-B unit. Thereafter, upon subsequent restarts, the
chassis and AFD2 unit starts up fully operational.
1. Set up the antenna and IRIG-B receiver (not supplied by Ixia).
