3. System Setup
This chapter serves as an overview of setting up a basic Lynx™ system, the Lynx in
-
strument and its Web-enabled control software. Those user-based commands that are
related to a one-time-only setup function, such as network connections and other sys
-
tem-affecting concerns are also introduced in this section. Specific Lynx setup param
-
eters, settings and details are provided in Chapter 4.
Setup introduced here pertains to the Lynx system settings, and often performed by
an Administrator. Some of this setup is physical or hardware-oriented, while some is
a software-controlled option or feature. This depends on your unique configuration.
Spectral analysis is performed using the Genie 2000 system. Acquiring input data
using the Lynx can be controlled from the Genie 2000 or from your PC or PDA.
Regular Lynx users may be more interested in Chapter 4, which discusses the
web-based Lynx Menu, and acquisition settings in greater detail.
The Lynx DSA
The Lynx is a low-power, solid-state device that does not employ a fan, so it operates
silently. It may be rack-mounted using the optional rack mount kit. Its location is
likely dictated by the placement of other detection equipment. The Lynx unit is con-
trolled by another device using one of several communication methods or options. Its
interface is web-based and very flexible.
In addition to the Lynx Digital Spectrum Analyzer, you'll receive:
•
One AC power adapter.
•
This user's manual.
•
Several communications cables.
A new Lynx system is designed to be operational very quickly. Someone (you) will be
its Administrator in order to get the Lynx system configured for your needs. Most
Lynx setup parameters will only need to be set up once, and then remain unchanged.
Rack-Mount Option
The Model Lynx-Mount Kit option includes hardware for mounting a single Lynx,
or two Lynx units side by side, in 2U of a 19 inch equipment rack.
Refer to Appendix C, Rack Mounting Your Lynx (beginning on page 193) for
rack-mounting instructions.
