Tektronix MTM400 Network Naming, Network Latency

Appendix A: Network Installation

The IP set-up is now complete. Close the MS-DOS window. With the IP Address successfully set up, the network settings can be completed (refer to Resetting the IP Address using the User Interface, page A-4).

The ARP command cannot be used if the unit already has an IP address - it will only work if the IP is 0.0.0.0. (Refer to Resetting the IP Address to Factory Default, page A-5 if the IP address is to be reset.)

Network Naming

If the MTM400 is to be accessible by network name rather than IP address, the relationship between the IP address and the network name will need to be set up on a DNS (domain name server) server on the network. This is not the name set up in the Configuration screen. Contact your Network Administrator for help.

When the IP address has been set up, if the MTM400 is to be accessed from a different net or subnet, the Gateway IP address and the Subnet Mask must be set up. Contact your Network Administrator for help. The Gateway IP address and the Subnet Mask values are set up in the Device Configuration Î Network Settings… dialog. The MTM400 must be restarted in order for the settings to take effect.

Network Latency

It has been noted that where access to a remote MTM400 uses a number of internet/intranet links of varying speeds, the initial RUI download may be initiated successfully, but the process then ceases. The network speed is outside of the control of Tektronix, but it may be possible to alter some of the local network settings to alleviate the problem.
