To Set Up the Interface Pod

To Remove the Interface Pod

Gently press on the clip underneath the interface pod and pull the interface pod out of the analyzer.

When you remove the interface pod, make sure you store it in a dust free location that meets the environmental requirements listed in “Environmental Specifications” on page 13. An electrostatic-safe bag has been supplied for the storage of each interface pod.

To Connect to the System Under Test

Obtain a pair of 75 Ω coaxial cables with BNC connectors. Before you connect the interface pod to the system under test (SUT), ensure that you have

∙connected the HP E5200A Broadband Service Analyzer to the controlling computer (workstation or notebook PC)

∙inserted the HP E5123A STM-1 Electrical Interface Pod

Connect the cables to the BNC connectors on the front of the interface pod and to the equipment or link that you want to test. For example, you might want to test a network element (for example, switch, service gateway), service access equipment (for example, a multiplexer, router, or PAD), or transmission link.
