Safety Summary
General Safety Precautions
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation of this instrument.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the instrument.
Agilent Technologies Inc. assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these requirements.
Before operation, review the instrument and manual for safety markings and instructions. You must follow these
to ensure safe operation and to maintain the instrument in safe condition.
General
This product is a Safety Class 1 instrument (provided with a protective earth terminal). The protective features of
this product may be impaired if it is used in a manner not specified in the operation instructions.
All Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) used in this product are Class 1 LEDs as per IEC 60825-1.
Environment Conditions
This instrument is intended for indoor use in an installation category II, pollution degree 2 environment. It is
designed to operate at a maximum relative humidity of 95% and at altitudes of up to 2000 meters.
Refer to the specifications tables for the ac mains voltage requirements and ambient operating temperature
range.
Before Applying Power
Verify that all safety precautions are taken. The power cable inlet of the instrument serves as a device to
disconnect from the mains in case of hazard. The instrument must be positioned so that the operator can easily
access the power cable inlet. When the instrument is rack mounted the rack must be provided with an easily
accessible mains switch.
Ground the Instrument
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cover must be connected to an electrical protective earth
ground. The instrument must be connected to the ac power mains through a grounded power cable, with the
ground wire firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. Any interruption of the
protective (grounding) conductor or disconnection of the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock
hazard that could result in personal injury.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Do Not Remove the Instrument Cover
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component replacement and internal adjustments must
be made only by qualified personnel.
Instruments that appear damaged or defective should be made inoperative and secured against unintended
operation until they can be repaired by qualified service personnel.

Setting Up the Hardware
Adjusting I/O Modules Inside the Chassis 12
Connecting a Chassis to the Controller PC 16
Once all the system requirements are in place, you need to start setting up
the hardware for OBSAI Protocol Tester. This requires you to set up basic
hardware, such as I/O modules, chassis, and controller PC.

12 Installation Guide
2Setting Up the Hardware
Adjusting I/O Modules Inside the Chassis
To adjust I/O modules inside a chassis, you need to know how to attach
as well as remove them to and from chassis.
Attaching an I/O module to the chassis
To attach an I/O module to the chassis:
1Insert the I/O module inside the empty slot and push it to adjust it
inside the empty slot.
Figure 1 Chassis with an Empty Slot
2Tighten the screw locks of the I/O module.
The I/O module is now attached to the chassis.

Setting Up the Hardware 2
Installation Guide 13
Removing an I/O module from the chassis
To remove an I/O module from the chassis:
1Unscrew the screw locks.
Figure 2 Screw locks on the Chassis
2Pull the extractor levers outside the chassis.
3Pull out the I/O module to remove it from the chassis.
Once you have removed the I/O module from the chassis, hold it by the
front panel and metal case, and place it on a hard and flat surface.
WARNING Do not directly touch any component on the I/O module. It may be
hot.
CAUTION Components on the I/O module are sensitive to the static electricity.
Therefore, take necessary anti-static precautions, such as wear a
grounded wrist strap, to minimize the possibility of electrostatic
damage. Also, you should not operate a chassis with empty slots.
Fill empty slots with blanking plates to ensure correct operation on
the chassis.

14 Installation Guide
2Setting Up the Hardware
Setting up the N5341A module
Once you have adjusted the modules inside the chassis, set up the N5341A
module.
Figure 3 N5341A module
To set the N5341A module
• For RP3- 01 connection: First, ensure that SFP is inserted into the
RP3- 01 optical port. Then, connect the one end of the optical fibre
cable to the RP3- 01 optical port, and the other end to device under test
(DUT).
• For RP3 connection: Connect the electrical Tx port of DUT to the Rx
ports of the N5341A module.

Setting Up the Hardware 2
Installation Guide 15
• For RP1 connection: Do the following:
•When you are using N5341A as a Base Station with CCM, connect
the RP1 receiver port of DUT to the sync burst out port of the RP1
cable, and connect the RP1 cable to the RP1 port. The reference
clock of 30.72 MHz will be available on Sys Clk Out.
•When you are using N5341A as an RF module, connect the sync
burst and system clock from DUT to the sync burst in and sys clk
in of the RP1 cable, and connect the RP1 cable to the RP1 port.
• For Ethernet connection: Connect the LAN cable to the ethernet port
of the module to provide ethernet functionality on the RP3- 01 port.
Ensure that the ethernet connection is configured at 10/100 Mbps.
This completes the hardware setup for the N5341A module.

16 Installation Guide
2Setting Up the Hardware
Connecting a Chassis to the Controller PC
After setting up the module, you can connect the chassis to the Controller
PC. For this, you can refer to the following arrangements, as applicable:
• No LAN interface available: In this situation, you can use the USB
network adapter to connect the Controller PC to the master chassis.
The advantage of this arrangement is that you can set up a test
environment easily at different places. For example, you can use a
mobile instrument, such as laptop, as Controller PC and connect it
directly to the chassis.
• Single LAN interface available: In this situation, you can:
•Connect the chassis to the Controller PC through the private LAN.
•Use the USB network adapter, which comes with OBSAI Protocol
Tester, as a second LAN interface.
The advantage of this arrangement is that you can access the Controller
PC from anywhere within the corporate LAN. For example, multiple
Client PCs can access the Controller PC through the corporate LAN.
To connect the master chassis to the Controller PC
•Connect the MDI- X port of the chassis to the Controller PC using the
standard LAN cable.
•Or, connect the MDI- X port of the chassis to the USB network adapter
using the standard LAN cable.
NOTE The two-slot chassis and the four-slot chassis have the same connector
assembly at the rear.
NOTE Do not connect the USB cable of the USB network adapter with the
Controller PC until installation wizard prompts you for it.

3Installing OBSAI Protocol Tester
Configuring the Controller PC
You need to configure the Controller PC to enable communication between
the Controller and Client PCs for data interchange.
In order to configure the Controller PC, you need to set up the FTP
service.
Setting Up the FTP
On the Controller PC, you need to install and enable the FTP service to
download firmware for various test modules. For this requirement, OBSAI
Protocol Tester provides a third- party FTP server named WARftp.
Remember the following about WARftp while installing OBSAI Protocol
Tester:
•WARftp is automatically installed and configured while installing OBSAI
Protocol Tester.
•WARftp is installed only when the default FTP service is not installed
on the Controller PC.
•Do not install WARftp prior to installing OBSAI Protocol Tester.
•Uninstall WARftp if it is already installed, as it halts the installation of
OBSAI Protocol Tester.
If you are not allowed to use WARftp, you can use the FTP server that
comes with the Windows operating system. In Windows, FTP is a part of
Internet Information Services (IIS).
In this section, you will learn:
•“To Install FTP
NOTE You do not have to configure the Client PC if you have planned to install
both the Controller and Client software on a single PC.
NOTE WARftp restricts many organizations, such as government organizations,
from using it. For more information on using WARftp, please refer to
www.warftp.org. Also, please refer to the license notes to find out if you
can use WARftp.
NOTE If IIS is already installed on the Controller PC, then skip to the next section.
