Installation and Setup

Turning on the Analyzer for the First Time

❏If using LAN, set the IP address of the analyzer to an appropriate number for your network; one that the network recognizes, but that is not yet in use. (Consult your local IT group):

—Press System, Config I/O, and note the IP address.

—If the current address is not appropriate, press IP Address and use the keypad to change it.

—Connect the LAN cable to the LAN connector located on the rear panel of your analyzer (see “Rear-Panel Features” on page 29).

—Cycle the analyzer power.

It is necessary to cycle the power to the analyzer after plugging in the LAN for the analyzer to recognize the network.

❏Allow the spectrum analyzer to warm-up for 30 minutes before making a calibrated measurement. To meet its specifications, the analyzer must meet operating temperature conditions.

It is normal to hear clicking when the Auto Alignment function is on. See “Running Internal Alignments” on page 17 for more information.

Why Aren’t All the Personality Options Loaded in Memory?

Many measurement personality options are available for use with this instrument. If the option is loaded in the instrument, you must also have a license key entered, to use it.

Some versions of instrument hardware may not have enough memory to accommodate all the options that you have ordered. If this is the case you will need to swap the applications in/out of memory, as needed. It may also be possible to upgrade your hardware to have more memory. Contact your local sales/service office.

If Option 117 is Loaded in Memory

If you ordered Option 117, the Secure Memory Erase option was loaded into the memory of your instrument and licensed at the factory but not enabled. DO NOT enable this option until you have fully configured your instrument (set the System, Config I/O settings as needed, added or removed options and licenses, and configured the power-up state you desire). After the security mode is enabled, the main Flash memory becomes read-only, rather than read/write memory. This makes it impossible to add or remove personalities or their license keys, or otherwise change the instrument’s configuration, unless you do a System, Security, Secure Erase All procedure. This procedure will render the instrument inoperable. You will then need to run the upgrade
