OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet
Getting Started Guide
Introduction
The OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet comes in four configurations:
• 10/100/1000Mbps wired only
• 10/100/1000Mbps wired and 802.11 wireless
• The above with 10Gbps wired
• Wireless only
The bulk of this manual applies to the 10/100/1000Mbps/10Gbps wired and 802.11 wireless configuration.
Some sections are specific to wireless only and are indicated as “wireless only.” The wireless only
configuration enables the AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO and optional AirMagnet Spectrum XT and/or
AirMagnet Survey PRO/Planner products to run on the OptiView XG Network Analysis Tablet in stand alone
mode. These products are described in their own User Guides.
If this tablet is configured for wireless only, the OptiView XG 10/100/1000Mbps/10Gbps wired product is
disabled, but can be enabled if purchased at some later date. If purchased, key codes will be provided to turn
on this part of the tablet. Refer to Appendix A for procedures on enabling the OptiView XG 10/100/1000Mbps/
10Gbps wired product.
10/100/1000Mbps/10Gbps Wired
The tablet enables users to monitor and analyze key assets remotely from the desk and troubleshoot locally
"on-the-wire." It's an all-in-one portable network analysis tool designed to help network professionals save
time resolving performance problems that are impacting the end-user experience. The flexible user interface
allows for custom presentation of information and test results to meet specific needs. The OptiView XG also
provides accurate reporting and documentation of the network.

Stylus
The stylus is docked in the upper right corner of the rear panel. Slide it out to use it; slide it back in for
storage.
Figure 10. Stylus and Dock
The multi-touch screen is designed for use with a stylus. However, you can also use your fingertip. Your
fingernail or a stylus provide more accurate control than the pad of your fingertip. Use of sharp objects or
excessive pressure on the multi-touch screen may cause permanent damage.
See also: “Screen Use and Care” on page 21.
Extending the Stand
The stand is a convenient feature for desktop use. To extend the stand, pull at the recessed portion located at
the bottom of the stand. To retract the stand, push it back in until it snaps in place.
