Installation and Setup
Turning on the Analyzer for the First Time
Installation and Setup
— Press Save.
— Connect the LAN cable to the LAN connector (not the Timing 
LAN connector) located on the rear panel of your analyzer (see 
“Rear-Panel Features” on page 61).
— Cycle the analyzer power. Refer to “Configuring for Network 
Connectivity” on page 158
NOTE It is necessary to cycle the power to the analyzer after plugging in the 
LAN for the analyzer to recognize the network.
Why Aren’t All the Personality Options Available?
Many measurement personality options are available for your use and 
are loaded in the instrument. To make an option available, you must 
also have a license key entered.
Using an External Reference
If you wish to use an external source as the reference frequency, you 
must connect an external reference source and set the reference 
frequency as follows: 
1. Connect an external source to the EXT REF IN connector on the 
rear panel (see “Rear-Panel Features” on page 61). The signal level 
should be greater than –15 dBm.
2. Select the frequency of the external reference into the analyzer: 
a. Press System, Freq/Time/Ref 
b. Select the up and down arrow navigation keys to highlight the 
desired reference frequency. 
c. Press Select to set the reference source and frequency that you 
have highlighted.
d. Press Cancel to abort your reference change and retain the 
previously selected frequency reference. See “Setting System 
References” on page 152 for more information.
