Network Installation

After your instrument is physically installed, you might want to connect it directly to a PC and a network. The following information can help you do that.

See the WFM5200 Installation and Safety Instructions that shipped with your instrument for b asic installation instructions.

If you are installing this instrument into a system, see the WFM5200 System Integration Technical Reference for installation instructions.

Connecting Directly to a

The following procedure will help you connect your instrument to a PC:

1. Connect the instrument directly to a PC with an Ethernet cable. The instrument has an auto-crossover feature. You can also use a HUB. (See Figure 1.)

2. Set up the instrument as described in the following procedures, Manual IP mode to set the IP address manually. Be sure to set an address that is compatible with the setting of your PC.

3. If you are using an SNMP setup, use the SNMP setup procedure.

IP settings. To allow network access to the instrument, you

must set the IP address. Network addresses can be assigned either automatically (DHCP) or manually. If your network does not use DHCP, you will have to manually enter the address for the instrument. To get an address, talk to your LAN administrator.

To connect your instrument to a network and ac cess it with a remote PC, do the following:

1. Press CONFIG to display the Conﬁguration menu.

2. Select Network Settings > Web Enable.PressSEL to select On.

3. Set the IP Conﬁg Mode to Manual or DHCP, depending on your network

setup.

4. If you cannot use DHCP, set the subnet mask and gateway address network parameters in this menu; see your LAN administrator for required values. (Be sure to use compatible addresses between the PC and the instrument.) You can also set the instrument name and view the MAC Address.

5. Press CONFIG to close the Conﬁguration menu.

If you intend to use SNMP commands to control the instrument (SNMP control is primarily intended for access through automation systems), you must set up SNMP parameters.

NOTE. The WFM5200 Waveform Monitor wfm_mon.mib and wfm5200.mib

contain SNMP OIDs and can be downloaded from the instrument Web

Test

You c an perform the following test with or without the external monitor. Using the external monitor allows you to check that the DVI connector on the rear panel is working properly:

1. Connect a monitor to the DVI connector on the rear panel of the instrument. This connector is a DVI-I connector with socket contacts. The output supports DVI monitors directly and analog PC (RGB) monitors using a DVI-I to VGA adapter.

2. Connect the AC line cord to the rear of the instrument and to a 100 to 240 VA C s o u r c e.

3. Press the Power button on the front panel to turn the instrument on. It is located on the bottom left corner of the front p anel.

4. After about 30 seconds, the power-on diagnostic page should appear on the screen.

5. Verify that all self tests pass. Any failures are shown in red. The results of the power-on diagnostics are erased from the screen, but you can view the results by selecting CONFIG > Utilities > View Diagnostics Log > SEL or by viewing them on the instrument Web page.

6. After the diagnostics are ﬁnished, the instrument state is restored. When the progress indicator in the status bar is ﬁnished, the instrument has ﬁnished initializing.

7. If it is still open, exit the Diagnostics Log.

A 3D signal can be carried within a single SDI signal (Side by Side) as a left and right image in either two SDI signals or a 3G level B 2xHD (Dual Stream) signal. You ca n s el

SIM is ideal for Eye signal. You can use SyncVu™ in conjunction with SIM when input A is used for the Left Eye and input B is used for the Right Eye.

Figure 33: Audio Control Packet format

For SD signals, transmission of audio control packets is optional for 48 kHz synchronous operation and required for all other modes of operation (since it contains the information as to what mode is being used). Where frequent switching is planned, receiving equipment can be designed to add or drop a sample broken. The challenge in such a system is to detect that a switch has occurred. This can be facilitated by use of the data block number in the ancillary data format structure and by including an optional frame counter with the unused bits in the audio frame number word of the audio control packet. (See Figure 34.)
