Procedure
This procedure assumes that the user has some knowledge of how to operate
both the RFM220 and MTS400 instruments. If necessary, refer to the associated
product documentation for more details.
Preliminary Tests
Test Setup
1. Power on the RFM220 instrument and wait for the initialization process to
complete.
2. After the instrument has initialized, verify the following:
Both fans are running. This indicates that the Fan Power Supply module is
OK.
The front panel Power On LED is on. This indicates that the Power Supply
module and the internal fuse are OK.
The front panel Alarm LED is blinking and the Ready LED is off. This
indicates that there is no input signal. If both LEDs are not on, this
indicates that there is a problem with the RFM220 module inside the
instrument.
3. Connect the RFM220 instrument to the MTS400 test system as shown in
the following figure:
a. Connect a 75Ω coaxial cable from the MTS400 ASI/SMPTE Out
connector to the RFM220 Stream Input connector.
b. Connect a 75Ω coaxial cable from the RFM220 Stream Output connector
to the MTS400 ASI/SMPTE In connector.
c. Connect an Ethernet cable from the MTS400 10/100/1000 Ethernet port
to the RFM220 Gigabit port.
CAUTION. The MTS400 test syste m has tw o E thernet ports: 10/100 and
10/100/1000. Be sure to use the 10/100/1000 port for this procedure.

a. If necessary, power on the MTS400 test system.
b. Insert the RFM220 Software and Documentation CD into the CD drive
of the MTS400 test system. The RFM220 CD browser window should
open displaying the CD contents.
c. In the RFM220 CD browser window, click the Install RFM220 Software
button. This opens a Windows Explorer window showing the directory on
the CD where the RFM200 software installation files are located.
d. Copy the RFM220 software installation files to a location on the hard
drive of the MTS400 test system.
e. After the software installation files are copied to the MTS400 test system,
double-click the setup.exe file to start the software installation process.
If necessary, refer to the RFM220 User Manual for complete instructions
on how to install the RFM220 software.
f.When prompted, select to install both the RFM220 Aggregator and
RFM220 Client applications.
g. After the software installation is complete, the RFM220 Aggregator and
RFM220 Client icons will appear on the desktop of the MTS400 test
system.

5. If necessary, install the dvb_625_mcpc3.mpg test signal file on the hard drive
of the MTS400 test system:
a. If necessary, insert the RFM220 Software and Documentation CD into the
CD drive of the MTS400 test system. The RFM220 CD browser window

directory on the CD where the test signal file is located.
c. Copy the test signal file to a location on the hard drive of the MTS400
test system.
d. Remove the RFM220 Software and Documentation CD from the CD drive
of the MTS400 test system.

8. Establish an IP connection between the MTS400 test system and the RFM220
instrument:
a. Locate the current IP address of the R FM220 instrument. The factory
default IP address is 192.168.0.209.
NOTE. If you cannot locate the IP address of the RFM220 instrument, perform
the procedure for recovering the IP address that is located in the RFM220
User Manual.
b. If necessary, change the IP address of the MTS400 test system s o that it
is on the same network and subnet as the RFM220 instrument. Update
the IP address by editing the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties on the
MTS400 test system for the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port.
For example, if the IP address of the RFM220 is 192.168.0.209, then set
the IP address of the MTS400 to 192.168.0.100. Set the Subnet Mask to
255.255.255.0 and leave the Default Gateway blank.
c. On the MTS400 test system, navigate to the Aggregator configuration file:
