Installation and Setup
Turning on the Analyzer for the First Time
Installation and Setup
❏ 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 IPAddress 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.
NOTE 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.
NOTE 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
