Chapter 3 Rack Mount SignalHawk Set-Up
Installing the SignalHawk into a Rack
The Rack-Mount SignalHawk is a short-depth, 2 rack-unit (RU) device
designed for installation into standard 19" equipment test racks. It
can also be used free-standing. Use installation hardware available for
the rack to mount the SignalHawk.
Note:
For maximum stability, use four screws to secure the
SignalHawk into the rack.
1. Install the Rack-Mount SignalHawk into the equipment or test rack.
2. Connect proper power supply. See “Power Supply - Rack-Mount
SignalHawk” on page 6.
3. Connect the SignalHawk to a host PC though one of the following:
z Rear USB
z Rear LAN
Note:
See “Rack-Mount SignalHawk Connection Dia-
gram” on page 19. There are three RJ45 (Ethernet) jacks on the
unit. Use the rear LAN connection jack for remote access.
Note:
Host control priority is given in the order shown above.
Example - If the normal remote connection is via a Rear LAN
connection, and the Rear USB is connected to a local host the
remote LAN connection will be disconnected & the local host
connection will be allowed control. The remote LAN connec-
tion will be restored upon disconnection from the local host.
4. There are two additional connectors on the front and rear of the
unit used for a “Pass-thru LAN” connection. The rear jack may be
connected to an on-site router or hub. This now enables conve-
nient, local connection to a network while on-site without having
to have physical access to an on-site hub.
CAUTION
Do not block the fans airflow to prevent overheating.
CAUTION
Avoid installing the SignalHawk near equipment
that exhausts or radiates excessive heat (such as
power amplifiers or DC power supplies). Proper
ventilation should always be considered as part of
the installation location.
