To Connect the Analyzer to a Computer

The analyzer is designed for both onsite and remote broadband testing applications. The way in which you connect the analyzer to a computer depends on whether you want to perform remote or local testing. You can connect the analyzer as a

∙networked system

∙remote system (using a modem)

Both the HP Broadband Service Analyzer and the supplied notebook PC are pre-conﬁgured for all of these connections (except for network speciﬁc conﬁguration parameters). For a networked system, you will need to record additional information. See “To Connect the Analyzer as a Networked System” on page 1-10.
