Tuning the Lane

Tuning the Lane
If you have installed multimode lanes (those using IT2200-series and
ATA-type tags), then you must follow all of the directions outlined in this
lane tuning section. If you have installed single-mode lanes (IT2200-
series tags only), you can ignore the ATA tag testing instructions.
This section provides instructions for installing and starting the IT2200 engineering
host software diagnostic tool to check the reader system status.
Starting the Engineering Host
To run the engineering host
1. Disconnect the data cable from the reader logic card in the host computer.
2. Remove the reader logic card from the host computer and install it in the test
computer.
3. Connect the data cable to the extension data cable, then connect the extension
data cable to the reader logic card in the test computer.
4. Start the test computer, then double-click the Host icon to start the host software.
Upon startup, the Background status information screen displays (see Figure
5-1).
