Attention:  

Avant d'accéder à cet équipement connecté aux lignes électriques, ôter tout 

bijou (anneaux, colliers et montres compris). Lorsqu'ils sont branchés à l'alimentation et 
reliés à la terre, les objets métalliques chauffent, ce qui peut provoquer des blessures 
graves ou souder l'objet métallique aux bornes.

Calibration

At the time of manufacture, all components manufactured by Spirent Communications are 
calibrated in accordance with applicable procedures. Spirent Communications equipment 
is calibrated using national standards, consensus standards, and ratio-type measurements 
based on self-calibration techniques. By design, the equipment has no user adjustments 
and does not require further calibration. Products are calibrated within the published 
environmental specifications for the products. At the time of shipment, this Spirent 
Communications product met its published operating specifications.

Unpacking

Before opening the product carton, examine it for damage. If damage is not visible, 
unpack the carton and check contents for damage. Save all packing materials. If damage is 
noted, forward an immediate request to the delivering carrier to perform an inspection and 
prepare a damage report. Save the container and packing material until contents are 
verified.

Concurrently, report the nature and extent of damage to Spirent Communications 
Customer Support so that action can be initiated to repair or replace damaged items, or 
instructions issued for returning items.

The responsibility of the manufacturer ends with delivery to the first carrier. All claims for 
loss, damage, or nondelivery must be made against the delivering carrier within 
10 calendar days of receipt of shipment.

Damaged or Missing Equipment

If any equipment is damaged or missing, call (800) 774-7368 or (818) 676-2616 
(international) for technical support. Registered users may also access the Spirent 
Communications support website at

Getting Started

The B2-800 appliance is operated with specialized software designed to help you create 
and analyze realistic traffic for determining the operating characteristics of a device, 
system, or network under test. Due to the powerful traffic generating capabilities of the 
B2-800 appliance, precautions should be taken when connecting the test ports to an 
operational network. On an operational network, such large amounts of traffic can cause 
network congestion leading to unexpected results; for example, packet retransmits or 
drops.
