Setting Up the Analyzer

To Insert or Remove an Interface Pod

 

To Insert or Remove an Interface Pod

 

Interface pods can be inserted or removed from the analyzer at any time.

 

The power does not need to be switched off. You insert an interface pod

 

when you initially set up the analyzer, and subsequently when you change

 

the type of line to be monitored.

Caution

Handle the interface pod with extreme care to avoid electrostatic

 

discharge (ESD) damage during unpacking, installation, and operation.

 

The connectors on the front and back of the interface pod are susceptible

 

to ESD.

 

The analyzer uses high speed digital interfaces which are susceptible to

 

ESD. ESD may cause received data to be corrupted.

To Insert an Interface Pod into the Analyzer

1Hold the interface pod with the front-panel connectors facing toward you and the Hewlett-Packard logo facing upwards.

2Insert the interface pod into Port 1 or Port 2 of the analyzer.

3Push the interface pod firmly into the analyzer until the connectors are properly seated. The clip on the base of the interface pod clicks into place when the interface pod is fully inserted.

The analyzer automatically sets the transmit and receive parameters according to the signal it receives from the interface pod. The port is automatically configured for full duplex mode.
