by yourself. The size and weight of the mainframe requires two people to lift or move it.

Installing the Bracket Kit

If you are using your benchtop logic analyzer outside of a rackmount environment, you can use the bracket kit to mount the PC controller, GbE switch, and TL708EX Hub together with your benchtop mainframe. (See Figure 1 on page 4.) Use the following procedure:

Networking Overview

The TLA7000 series instruments communicate between the controller and mainframes via GbE (gigabit Ethernet) connections using IP (Internet Protocol) standards. Because of the size of typical TLA data ﬁles, GbE components are the preferred network hardware over more typical 100BaseT networks. Use at l east a

t5e cable for your network connections.

All connected devices must have unique IP addresses to operate on a network.

his can be achieved by manually entering a static address in the TLA, or if your

T network has a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server, it can dynamically provide an address that meets these needs.

TLA7016 Networ

k Search Performance. The TLA Application software requires a

DNS (Domain Name Service) service to translate TLA7016 host names into IP addresses. If there is not a DNS service available on the network, then you may experience long search times when attempting to locate TLA7016 mainframes on your network.

To eliminate this long search time, Tektronix recommends that you include a hosts ﬁle on your PC under <Windows folder>\system32\drivers\etc directory. (An example of the contents of this ﬁle is shown below.)

120.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.0.19 TLA7016_Lab1

192.168.0.20 TLA7016_Lab2

192.168.0.21 TLA7016_Lab3

TLA IP Address Lease Time. To facilitate reliable network operation, DHCP-as

signed IP addresses have a "lease time" where they are normally "leased" to a device for a preset time, for example, one day or one week. After the lease time expires, the actual IP address may change.

If the lease expires causing an IP change, a ll network connections between the TLA and host will also expire, stopping network communic ations and causing the TLA application to terminate. The TLA application must be restarted to correct this condition.

Network Security

If you plan to operate the TLA application remotely for extended periods of time (whether acquiring data or not), then lease times must be set to a period of time that guarantees that the IP address does not change. Talk to your network

inistrator if you have questions.

The user interface on the logic analyzer system operates under the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System. Tektronix strongly recommends

he following to ensure your instrument is protected:

All TLA mainframes are conﬁgured to enable the standard Windows XP

rewall by default. Windows provides details for changing ﬁrewall settings

ﬁ

in the Control Panel.

Install operating system updates regularly

Use up-to-date antivirus software

NOTE. To use your instrument over a network you must join either a workgroup

or a domain. If you plan to control your instrument remotely, both the instrument and the remote computer must be in either the same workgroup or the same domain on the network.
