Connecting Via USB Teledyne LeCroy
Connecting using a Hub, Switch, or Similar Device
When connected to the host machine using a hub, switch, Gigabit Ethernet interface, or
similar device, the Analyzer must be given a static IP address such that it will reside on the
same subnet as the host machine. See
Figure 1.12 on page 19 to set the IP address. To
add the IP address to the Select Device dialog, use the Add Device button (see Figure 1.11
on page 19 ).
Analyzer Connected Directly to the Host Machine Using a Ethernet Cable
When connected to the host machine using a crossed ethernet cable, the Analyzer must
be given a static IP address such that it will reside on the same subnet as the host
machine. See
Figure 1.12 on page 19 to set the IP address. To add the IP address to the
Select Device dialog, use the Add Device button (see Figure 1.11 on page 19 ).
Connecting Over Different Subnets
If the host machine (with the Sierra software) and SierraFC M8‐4 are on the same subnet,
they will see each other’s broadcasts, and the SierraFC M8‐4 application will
automatically appear in the Select Device dialog, from which you can select a device (as
described in the previous section).
If the host machine and SierraFC M8‐4 do not reside on the same subnet, they will not
see each other automatically. You must add the SierraFC M8‐4 IP address manually. To
add the IP address, use the Add Device button (see
Figure 1.11 on page 19) .
Connecting Via USB
To set up the Analyzer using a USB connection:
1. Remove the Analyzer from its shipping container.
2. Insert the Installation CD.
3. Connect the Analyzer to a power outlet using the provided power cord.
4. Connect the USB port to a USB port on the PC using a USB cable.
5. Turn on the rear power switch and the front power switch.
6. Click Next after you see the Add New Hardware Wizard window.
7. Follow the Microsoft
® Windows ® on‐screen Plug‐and‐Play instructions for the
automatic installation of the Analyzer as a USB device on your PC. (The required USB
files are included on the Installation CD.)
8. Click Finish when you see the message that says “Windows has finished installing
the software that your new hardware requires” and the file has been installed in
your PC.
Do not change from USB to Ethernet, or back, without power cycling the Analyzer.
To connect the Analyzer to a host machine via ethernet, refer to “Setup IP” on page 248 .
