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.

Battery Care
To maximize the life of lithium-ion batteries, avoid frequent full discharges. Partial discharges with frequent
recharges will make the batteries last longer. Lithium-ion battery technology does not suffer from the
“memory effect,” so recharge the batteries whenever it’s convenient. Avoid storing the batteries in a hot
environment. For optimal long-term storage, store at about 50% charge, in a cool place.
Extending Battery Operating Time
In its default configuration, the OptiView XG will operate for approximately two hours with fully-charged
batteries.
When only using the wireless adapters to connect to the network (not using Network Ports A, B, C, or D) you
can approximately double operating time by switching off power to the network ports. You may want to do
this when using the following (optional) applications for an extended period of time for field operations:
• AirMagnet WiFi Analyzer PRO
• AirMagnet Spectrum XT
• AirMagnet Survey PRO
To Switch Off Power to Network Ports A, B, C, and D
1. Select the OptiView Power Control icon from the System Tray.

These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to operate within the
limits for safe exposure established by the FCC and international organizations. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., next to the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has granted an
Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels (see below) evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when the antennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the
body. In order to transmit data or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some
cases, transmission of data or messages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure
that the recommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6
2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value because the device
operates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section
