Starting ParBERT for the First Time General System Start Procedure
76 Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, February 2002
General System Start Procedure
The basic procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all peripherals—external PC (if applicable), monitor, 
printer, expander mainframes, CD-ROM drive, etc.—are switched on.
2. Switch on the mainframe itself.
For the embedded controller, the Windows NT automatic log-on 
script is enabled. After you turn on the mainframe, you are 
automatically registered as user DVT and the Windows desktop 
appears.
3. You then have to log on as a user. The default user name on an 
embedded controller is DVT, and the password is “DVT”. 
If ParBERT is controlled from an external PC (an IEEE 1394 PC link 
to VXI module is plugged into the mainframe and the corresponding 
card into the PC), you have to log on at the external PC.
4. You have to configure the embedded or external controller and user 
PC, as explained in ”Configuring ParBERT” on page 76.
5. You have to start the user software at the user PC. Refer to ”Starting 
the ParBERT User Software” on page 84 for more information.
6. From the user PC, you have to verify that ParBERT is correctly 
installed and configured. ”Testing ParBERT’s Integrity” on page 89 
explains how you do this.
Configuring ParBERT
When you are installing a new ParBERT system, or modifying an existing 
ParBERT system, you have to configure the ParBERT software. The 
following must be configured:
• The start-up settings
• The I/O interfaces and systems
For new installations or after software updates, the Agilent 81250 
Configuration Tool dialog box automatically pops up after the 
installation.
