Summary of Installation Procedures
This chapter explains how to install your SmartBits 600x/6000x chassis. A description of the
following procedures is provided:
Check SmartBits Requirements and Package Contents
1 Check the system requirements (see page 29).
2 Check the SmartBits chassis and package (see page 30).
Install Application and Review Documentation
3 Install the SmartBits application software onto your PC. Print/review important Release
Notes for the chassis and module firmware, and for the applications. Print user
documentation now or later, as needed (see page 32).
Set up SmartBits
4 Connect the SmartBits to a power outlet, to a PC for initial IP address configuration and
software management, and to your LAN (see page 34).
5 Install the ferrite block onto the Ethernet cable (see page 36).
6 Start SmartWindow (see page 38).
7 Set up the SmartBits IP address (see page 41).
8 Assign the Netmask and Gateway values for the SmartBits chassis using HyperTerminal
or Telnet. (See Appendix D, “Serial Port and Telnet Commands.”)
9 Confirm the Ethernet link: Ping the Ethernet link between the PC and SmartBits; if
unsuccessful, check the TCP/IP stack on the PC and add the appropriate IP address (see
page 51).
10 Update module or chassis firmware if needed (optional) (see page 56).
Connect SmartBits to an Application
11 Configure the SmartWindow-to-SmartBits Ethernet connection (see page 65).
Connect SmartBits to the DUT
12 Connect SmartBits to the device(s) under test, check cabling, and ensure that EMI
guidelines are met. Then use SmartWindow, SmartLibrary, or any other SmartBits test
software to access and use the capabilities of the SmartBits system (see page 67).
