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
PC
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.

instrument over a network, and configuring SNMP, which is required if you are
using commands to control the instrument.

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
e. You can also download a printable version of a MIB manual from
pag
www.tektronix.com/downloads.
The procedure to set SNMP settings is similar to the procedure for IP settings.
(See page 7, Connection and IP settings.)
This table shows the parameters that you can set.

Incoming Inspection
Getting Started
The incoming inspection procedures are optional procedures to check the
functionality of your instrument. These procedures require no equipment
other than an external monitor or display. For a more robust inspection, see
the performance verification procedures in the WFM5200 Specifications and
Performanc
Documentation CD that shipped with your instrument.
eVerification Technical Reference that is included on the Product
Basic Turn On and Self
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.
