Setting Up Multiframe Configurations 5
16900 Series Logic Analysis Systems Installation Guide 91
Creating a Simple 2-Frame w/Crossover Cable Configuration
1 Set up the two frames in the simple 100 Base-T multiframe
configuration by following the instructions in “Creating Simple
Multiframe Configurations” on page 87.
2 If the Agilent Logic Analyzer application is running on one of the
frames, exit the application.
3 Connect a special cross-over LAN cable between the two frames’
1000 Base-T LAN ports.
4 Make sure the frames’ 1000 Base-T LAN ports are enabled, and
manually set up static IP addresses for them in the network
connection’s Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog. Use IP
addresses in the link- local address range (169.254.xxx.xxx). Make sure
the static IP address is different for each frame; for example, use
169.254.192.0 for one frame and 169.254.192.1 for the other. (Proper
subnet masks, 255.255.0.0, are automatically filled- in.)
5 After the static IP addresses for the frames’ 1000 Base-T LAN ports
have been configured, wait about 10 seconds for the logic analyzer
service to restart.
6 Start the Agilent Logic Analyzer application, and verify that the
multiframe system appears in the Overview window.
NOTE
Use static IP addresses on the frames’ 1000 Base-T LAN ports to greatly improve the
Agilent Logic Analyzer application start up time.
