First-Time Set Up 1
First-Time Set Up Considerations
Determine Whether the Instrument will be Connected to the Network
Standalone
You are going to use the logic analyzer as a standalone instrument (no
LAN connection). Printing requires a printer attached to the logic analyzer,
sharing files is done via USB flash drive or floppy disk.
Connected to a Network
If you require the ability to print, share files, remotely control the logic
analyzer, etc. over the network, you need to either join a workgroup or
domain.
Get Network Setup Information
For networking, find out whether the network that your instrument will be
connected to uses the Microsoft Workgroup model or Microsoft Domain
model. In order for your instrument to perform tasks over the network
(print, transfer files, etc.) your instrument must be configured
appropriately for the networking model in use at your site.
Information you may require to complete your network configuration may
include, but is not limited to:
• The Workgroup or Domain name.
• Methodology for assigning IP addresses at your site (for example,
DHCP).
• Domain Name Service (DNS).
Other network information that may be readily available from your network
administrator.
NOTE
If you plan to use COM automation to programmatically control a logic
analyzer from a remote computer, be aware that the remote computer
and the logic analyzer must both have the same kind of network
membership; that is, they must both be members of a “Workgroup”, or
they must both be members of a “Domain”. This is due to the security
requirements of Distributed COM.

1 First-Time Set Up
First-Time Set Up On Legacy 16800 Series Logic Analyzers With Windows XP Instal-
lation
The legacy 16800 series logic analyzers are shipped with Windows XP
installation. The first time you turn on these logic analyzers, the Windows®
Welcome session starts. Your logic analyzer configuration and the answers
to the Windows Welcome questions are affected by how you choose to use
the logic analyzer.
Answering Windows Welcome Questions
Once you have determined how you want to use your logic analyzer and
your network configuration, power up your logic analyzer and answer the
Windows Welcome questions.

If expected Windows Welcome questions do not appear
During first-time power-up, depending on the configuration of your
network, some of the Windows Welcome questions that should appear,
like “Is this computer in a domain?”, may not appear.
If this occurs, you need to change the logic analyzer’s network setup (after
the first-time power up) using the normal Windows XP methods (see
“Changing Network Settings" on page 34).
Setting up a high-speed connection? N/A N/A Enter either the fixed IP/DNS
assigned by your network
administrator or select “Obtain

First-Time Set Up On 16800 Series Logic Analyzers with Windows 7 Installation
The first time you turn on a 16800 series logic analyzer that is shipped with
Windows 7 installation, you are automatically logged on to the system
using the Administrator account and the Windows 7 desktop is displayed.
Unlike legacy 16800 series logic analyzers, the Windows Welcome
questions are not displayed for setting logic analyzer configurations on
these new 16800 logic analyzers the first time you turn these on. However,
once you are logged on to the system, you must set the following logic
analyzer configurations based on how you want to use your logic analyzer.
You use the standard Windows 7 procedures to set these configurations.

Additional First-Time Setup Steps
Establishing an Administrator Account (recommended for standalone and networked instru-
ments)
Keysight recommends that you set up an Administrator account for your
logic analyzer. You have to be logged in to the Administrator account to do
the following:
• Install most software (applies whether the instrument is networked or
standalone).
• Change the workgroup.
• Perform “Windows Updates”.
• Change firewall settings.
Protecting the Instrument’s Operating System
Microsoft recommends the following three steps to ensure the
instrument's PC is protected.
1 Use an Internet firewall.
2 Get operating system updates.
3 Use up-to-date anti-virus software.
