Avertissement
Cet appareil répond aux normes de la
“Classe de sécurité 1” et est muni d’un fil
de mise à la terre pour votre protection.
Pour prévenir les risques de choc élec-
trique, la broche de mise à la terre du
cordon d’alimentation ne doit pas être dés-
activée.
Restrictions d’utilisation
L’utilisateur se doit d’observer les mesures
de précaution énumérerais-dessous pour
toutes les phases d’utilisation, de service et
de réparation de cet appareil. Le fait de ne
pas s’y conformer équivaut à ne pas
respecter les mises en gardes spécifiques
contenues dans ce manuel et constitue une
violation des normes de sécurité relatives à
la conception, la fabrication et l’utilisation
prévue de cet appareil. La société Hewlett-
Packard n’assume aucune responsabilité
envers un client qui manquerait de se con-
former à ces exigences.
Mise à la terre
Afin de minimiser les risques de choc élec-
trique, le châssis et le cabinet de l’appareil
doivent être mis à la terre. L’appareil est
équipé d’un cordon d’alimentation muni
d’une fiche homologuée à trois lames, com-
patible c.a. La prise murale et la prise
femelle de la rallonge électrique doivent
respecter les normes de sécurité de la
“Commission Électrotechnique Internation-
ale” (IEC).
Environnement
Ne faites pas fonctionner cet appareil en
présence de gaz inflammables ou de
vapeurs dangereuses. L’utilisation de
n’importe quel appareil électrique dans ces
conditions constitue un risque élevé pour
votre sécurité.
Service et ajustement
Des “tensions dangereuses” résident dans
cet appareil. Par conséquent, le service et
l’ajustement doivent être effectué unique-
ment par une personne qualifiée.
Ne remplacez pas de composantes lorsque
le cordon d’alimentation est sous tension. Il
pourrait y avoir présence de “tension dan-
gereuses” même lorsque l’appareil est
déconnecté.
Manipulation du tube cathodique
Une manipulation brusque, ou le fait de
secouer l’appareil, peut provoquer le bris du
tube cathodique. L’implosion qui s’en suiv-
rait entraînerait la dispersion à grande
vélocité d’éclats de verre. Le retrait ou
l’installation du tube cathodique ne doit
être exécuté que par un technicien qualifié,
portant un masque et des gants de sécurité
homologués.
Service non autorisé
L’installation de pièces étrangères, ou tous
modification apportée à l’appareil sans le
consentement de Hewlett-Packard est
formellement interdit. Le fait de procéder à
de tels modifications sans autorisation
pourrait entraîner l’annulation de la garan-
tie de l’appareil ou de tout contrat de ser-
vice.
Pour un service et des réparations
autorisées, retournez l’appareil à un point
de vente et service Hewlett-Packard.

What is the HP Broadband Service Analyzer?
What is the HP Broadband Service Analyzer?
The HP E5200A Broadband Service Analyzer is a portable yet powerful tool
designed specifically to test broadband equipment, networks, and services. It
can be used by public and private network providers to
•test network equipment
•aid in equipment installation
•test interworking devices
•test end-to-end services
You can use the analyzer to test the physical, ATM, and AAL layers in network
traffic.
The analyzer’s user interface has four main components that provide most of
the tools you need to install, test, and support network equipment and
services:
•Link Monitor and Channel Monitor continuously measure the key
indicators of the health of the link or of a specific channel (VPI/VCI), and
display the information in an easy-to-read summary format.
•SMARTtests and predefined macros speed up the common and
routine tasks you need to perform when installing and testing network
equipment and services, and to ensure quality of service.
•Simulator gives you all of the tools you need to have manual control of
the transmit functions of the analyzer.
•Capture Viewer shows you details of captured traffic. You can
troubleshoot any fault in any level of the protocol stack, such as LAN
emulation, classical IP, and Frame Relay over ATM.
You can use the analyzer as a standalone test solution for dispatched testing in
installation, commissioning, or maintenance applications. You can also display
the user interface on any HP-UX workstation and connect the instrument to a
network for remote monitoring.

To Connect the Analyzer to a Computer
The analyzer is designed for both onsite and remote broadband testing
applications. The way in which you connect the analyzer to a computer
depends on whether you want to perform remote or local testing. You can
connect the analyzer as a
•standalone system (with a notebook PC)
•networked system
•remote system (using a modem)
Both the HP Broadband Service Analyzer and the supplied notebook PC
are pre-configured for all of these connections (except for network
specific configuration parameters). For a networked system, you will need
to record additional information. See “To Connect the Analyzer as a
Networked System” on page 1-10.
The default configuration for the analyzer is as follows:
