88 16900 Series Logic Analysis Systems Installation Guide
5 Setting Up Multiframe Configurations
• Choose one of the frames to run the Agilent Logic Analyzer application
on. If you only run the application on one frame, all your
configurations will be there (and will be easier to find). Also, there are
I/O and node- locked license file advantages when the application is run
on one frame (see “Other Multiframe Configuration Notes” on page 98).
There will also be fewer popup warning messages when the Agilent
Logic Analyzer application on the slave systems are forced offline by
the multiframe connections.
• A network switch (as opposed to a hub) can be used to isolate traffic
between frames and improve performance, but it is not required.
Creating Simple Multiframe Configurations
1 Make sure all systems are connected to a common LAN in the same
way:
• All systems should be members of the same Domain, or they should
all be members of the same Workgroup. To get the systems properly
connected to the LAN, see Chapter 4, “First- Time Set Up,” starting
on page 77 or “To change network settings” on page 104.
• It is highly recommended that the network and all systems be
configured to allow DHCP services to manage IP addressing.
2 Power off all logic analysis system frames.
3 Connect multiframe cable(s) between the chassis as shown.
