81250 Parallel Bit Error Ratio Tester directly or via your local area
network. See ”Operating ParBERT via the LAN” on page 26.
ParBERT with Embedded Controller
If you have ordered ParBERT with an embedded controller, you receive a
self-enclosed test system that you simply can connect to mains power.
Figure 10 Self-enclosed ParBERT System
After you have followed the basic installation procedure (see ”Basic
Installation Procedure” on page 23), you can connect the mainframe to
mains and turn it on. The user software automatically starts, and a
selftest checks all the components.
If ParBERT is supposed to be connected to the LAN, you can do that
after the selftest has finished. The embedded PC has a standard LAN
interface. See ”Connecting ParBERT to the LAN” on page 91 for
instructions.
