t uses a passive loop-through reference input. Accordingly, the
loop-through input must be terminated externally. It is important that this external
termination meets accuracy and return loss requirements.
If the instrument is installed to monitor an operating link, the destination receiver
and the connecting cable serve as the termination. This monitoring connection
checks the performance of the entire path. The return loss of the instrument is
sufficiently high that, in most cases, the destina tion receiver sets the system return
loss.
In cases where the instrument is placed at the end of a link, a BNC termination
must be installed on one side of the loop-through reference connector. The
terminat
ion m ust be 75 Ω and DC coupled (good return loss extends to DC). An
appropriate termination for the EXT REF connector is Tektronix part number
011-0163-00, which is a 75 Ω, End-of-Line termination.
Most BNC
connectors for video equipment, whether 50 Ω or 75 Ω,usea50Ω
standard center pin. Some laboratory 75 Ω BNCconnectorsuseasmaller
diameter center pin. The BNC connectors on the instrument are designed to work
with the 50 Ω standard (large diameter) center pins.
Do not use connectors or terminators with the smaller center pins. They could
cause intermittent connections.

Network operation
IP settings con figuration
To allow networ
k access to the instrument, you need to set the IP address.
Network addresses can b e 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 obtain a valid IP address, contact your LAN administrator.
Perform the following steps to configure the IP settings on the instrument:
1. Press the CONFIG button to display the Configuration menu.
2. Use the Gene
ral knob to navigate to Network Settings.
3. Press the right arrow key to select IP ConfigMode.
4. Press the SEL button to select between DHCP and Manual.
5. If you selected DHCP, you are finished.
6. If you selected Manual mode, you need to set the Subnet Mask and Gateway
Address parameters. Contact your LAN administrator for these values. (Be
sure to use compatible addresses between the PC and the instrument.)
7. Press the down arrow key to select IP Address.
8. Press the right arrow key. A dialog box will appear that allows you to enter
the IP address.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for the Subnet Mask and the Gateway Address.
10. If desired, select Instrument Name and then press the right arrow button to
assign the instrument a network name.
11. Press the CONFIG button to close the configuration menu.

SNMP remote control
configuration
SNMP remote con
trol is primarily intended for instrument access using automated
systems. If you intend to use SNMP commands to control the instrument, you
must first configure the SNMP settings on the waveform monitor.
NOTE. The SNMP commands are contained in a MIB (Management Information
Base). Refer to the WFM Series Waveform Monitors and WVR Series Waveform
Rasterizers Management Information Base Technical Reference (Tektronix
part number
077-0261-XX) for information about using the MIB to control the
waveform monitor.
The proce
dure to configure SNMP settings is similar to that previously described
for configuring the IP settings. Touch SNMP Setup in the Communication
submenu of the Main menu to configure the following SNMP parameters:
Remote SNMP Enable. Use this setting to configure the remote access to the
instrument via SNMP. You can select Off or On.
SNMP Traps. Use this setting to enable or disable the SNMP traps that are
sent from the instrument when error conditions are detected.
Trap Destination Address. Use these settings to enter up to four different
IP addresses to which SNMP traps will be sent when error conditions are
detected.
NOTE. A value of all zeroes for the IP address will disable that trap output.
Private Community String. Use this menu setting to enter the Private
Community string, which effectively is a password. Without this string,
SNMP commands cannot change values in the waveform monitor.
TE. Use the Private Community String to control the ability of SNMP
NO
commands to make changes to the waveform monitor. Use the Public Community
String to control the ability of SNMP commands to read information from the
waveform monitor.
Public Community String. This menu entry allows you to set the Public
Community string. This string is effectively a password. Without this s tring,
SNMP commands cannot read information from the instrument.
