Specs
• - Earth ground, a symbol that may appear on the unit and/or related diagrams indicating a
component that must be grounded to Earth.
• - A symbol which may appear on the module indicating that the outer conductor of a connected
coaxial cable (the “shield”) should be properly grounded to earth.
• - A symbol which may appear on the module indicating that this documentation should be
reviewed thoroughly before using the product.

1.4 About hardware models and variations
Two hardware models currently exist for the product:
• T5100 - The original “NG2” (next-generation) unit, with separate internal radios for wireless B/G/N
and wireless AC. Because of the separate circuitry, the Wi-Fi testing menu required separate
commands for the respective functionality (see Wi-Fi Testing Menu on page 3-1).
• T5300 - The next evolution of the NG2 unit, with the following improvements:
– Common circuitry for all Wi-Fi protocols, which allows a corresponding common menu item for all
Wi-Fi connections.
– New circuitry to support the Wi-Fi spectrum analysis feature (see Wi-Fi Spectrum Analysis on
page 3-17).
Both units look identical. Aside from the Wi-Fi differences noted, the functionality is also identical. For
more information on T5100 upgrade options, please contact Spirent.
1.5 Important safety notes
• For operator safety, this equipment is intended to be used on cable communications equipment that
is grounded in accordance with the NEC Articles 800 and 830.
• The maximum input voltage is 42 VDC.
• The coaxial input/output circuitry is classified as CAT-II.
Preliminary issue - Limited distribution only!
