6. SPECTRUM ANALYZER ETHERNET SETUP
6.1 SERIAL CONNECTION
Connect the spectrum analyzer directly to the user’s PC using the straight female-female DB-9 serial cable
provided. A 9-wire serial cable is required for operation. Under the “Control 1” tab of the GUI, select
“COM 1” from the “Spectrum Analyzer List” then Run to establish connection.
If a port other than COM 1 is being used, a new Serial Connection Profile will need to be added (see section
7.1).
6.2 ETHERNET CONNECTION
Connect the spectrum analyzer directly to the PCs ethernet port using a crossover ethernet cable or through a
switch or router with straight cables. The GUI contains a configuration tool for configuring the spectrum
analyzer’s ethernet settings under Configure>Ethernet Connection on the Main Menu. It allows ethernet
configuration directly or from within your LAN.
Ethernet configuration changes via both serial and ethernet are supported. A 9-wire serial cable is required
for operation.
6.2.1 ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
Use Configure>Ethernet Connection to open the ConfigTool and adjust the spectrum analyzer’s ethernet
controller’s parameters. Note that when ConfigTool first opens up the parameters shown are only the
