Generally, the larger number of satellites tracked, the more accurate the information.
Chapter 7 — Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-1 Introduction This chapter describes how to connect to a network or directly to a PC using Option 411 Ethernet Connectivity. It also describes the RJ-45 connector, DHCP, and connection tests for the Site Master. 7-2 Ethernet Connection Network Connection Note DHCP is the default Ethernet type. If the Anritsu handheld has been set to Manual, change to DHCP from the System main menu (Shift+8) > System Options > Ethernet.
7-2 Ethernet Connection Note Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) The following steps may disable network and/or internet access. 4. Configure the computer for direct Ethernet connection: a. On the computer running MST, double-click on the local area connection associated with Ethernet crossover cable connection (Start menu > Settings > Network Connections > Local Area Connection x). b. Click on the Properties button, then double-click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). c.
Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-3 7-3 Ethernet Configuration on the Site Master Ethernet Configuration on the Site Master LAN Connection The RJ-45 connector is used to connect the Site Master to a local area network. Integrated into this connector are two LEDs. The amber LED shows the status of the Ethernet Link: Link Up (On) or Link Down (Off). The green LED flashes to show that LAN traffic is present.
7-3 Ethernet Configuration on the Site Master Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) To display the IP address with the instrument on, press the Shift key, then the System (8) key, then the System Options soft key and the Ethernet Config soft key. The IP address will be displayed as shown in Figure 7-1. The image on the display panel of your Site Master may differ from the image shown here. Figure 7-1. 7-4 IP Address Assigned Using DHCP PN: 10580-00252 Rev.

7-3 Ethernet Configuration on the Site Master Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) Ethernet Menu Key Sequence: Shift, System (8) > System Options > Ethernet Config Ethernet Type Manual DHCP Field IP G-Way Sub Type Manual DHCP: Press this submenu key to select whether the address will be entered manually, or will be supplied automatically by a network DHCP server. If Manual is selected, then use the submenu keys or the Left/Right arrow keys to select the field that is to be modified.
Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-4 7-4 DHCP DHCP DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol that allows a server to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices that are connected to the network. Most networks include a DHCP server to manage IP addresses. When a DHCP server is available on the network, DHCP is the preferred IP address assignment mode. When using DHCP, no setup is required to lease and use a dynamic IP address.
7-5 ipconfig Tool Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) Example 1 In this example, a Static IP address has been chosen because no network DHCP service is available. The instrument is connected to the network port on the PC with a crossover Ethernet cable (not included). This is also referred to as Direct Connect: IP Address: 10.0.0.2 Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.
Ethernet Connectivity (Option 411) 7-6 7-6 Ping Tool Ping Tool Another tool that can find out if a selected IP address is already on the network is ping. Ping is a harmless way to determine if an address is found on the network, and (if it is found) to receive a reply. Basically, the ping function sends out a request to a specific address to determine if a computing device is connected to the network at that address. If a valid connection is found, then a copy of the signal (that was sent) is returned.

Chapter 8 — Bias Tee (Option 10) 8-1 Overview Option 10 provides a bias tee that is installed inside the instrument. The bias arm is connected to a 12 VDC to 32 VDC power source that can be turned on as needed to place the voltage on the center conductor of the instrument’s RF In port. This supply of bias implies it is mostly useful when conducting two-port transmission measurements.

Chapter 9 — Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools 9-1 Introduction This chapter provides a brief overview of the Anritsu Tool Box and the Line Sweep Tools program. For detailed information about Line Sweep Tools, refer to the program Help. 9-2 Anritsu Tool Box with Line Sweep Tools The Anritsu Tool Box is a central location to open an Anritsu measurement, visit the Anritsu web site, or launch an Anritsu application (Figure 9-1).
9-3 9-3 Install the Software Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools Install the Software Place the Installation DVD in your computer and follow the on-screen instructions (Figure 9-2). Figure 9-2. Installing Anritsu Tool Box with Line Sweep Tools If the installer does not autostart, navigate to the DVD and run setup.exe (Figure 9-3). Figure 9-3. setup.exe on the Anritsu Tool Box DVD The installation will start. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools 9-5 9-5 Why use Line Sweep Tools? Why use Line Sweep Tools? Line Sweep Tools is a program designed to increase productivity for people who work with dozens of Cable traces, Antenna traces, and Passive Intermodulation (PIM) traces every day. Line Sweep Tools will: • Collect sweeps from Anritsu PIM and Line Sweep gear. • Help verify that those sweeps are done properly and that the Cable, Antenna and PIM sweeps meet specifications.
9-6 9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools Using Line Sweep Tools Like its predecessor, Hand Held Software Tools (HHST), Line Sweep Tools is intuitive for most users. However, unlike HHST, Line Sweep Tools has the capability to work rapidly with a large number of traces. Figure 9-4. Line Sweep Tools Window Line Sweep Tools can open DAT files from HHST; or VNA/DAT files from Anritsu’s E-series instruments. It also can open PIM files.
Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools 9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools Marker Presets The fastest way to manage markers on multiple traces is to use the preset function. The marker and limit line preset toolbar allows users to quickly set all markers and the limit line to pre-defined values on similar traces (Figure 9-6). Figure 9-6. Preset Toolbar First set the markers and limit lines on a typical trace to the desired values. Then, press the red “e” or edit button on the Preset toolbar.
9-6 Using Line Sweep Tools Anritsu Tool Box and Line Sweep Tools To use the renaming grid: 1. Click on the left icon of the Renaming toolbar. 2. Select the filename, title, or subtitle box. Right-clicking on a box will allow you to change the text on the button. 3. Press buttons and type until the desired name is shown. 4. Press Remember Fields to copy the new name for later use. 5. On the toolbar, press the button that corresponds to the field to be renamed. 6.
