Preface
This document helps customers with data security concerns to sanitize or remove
memory devices from the MTM400A MPEG Transport Stream Monitor.
These products have data storage (memory) devices and data output devices (USB
ports). These instructions tell how to clear or sanitize the memory devices and
disable the data output devices. The instructions also tell how to declassify an
instrument that is not functioning.
Supported Products
MTM400A MPEG Transport Stream Monitor.

part number 071-2495-xx, is available on the Tektronix Web site at

Terms
The following terms may be used in this document:
Clear. This removes data on media/memory before reusing it in a secured area. All
reusable memory is cleared to deny access to previously stored information by
standard means of access.
Erase. This is equivalent to clear.
Media storage/data export device. This refers to any of several devices that can
be used to store or export data from the instrument, such as a USB port.
Nonvolatile memory. Data is retained when the instrument is powered off.
Power off. Some instruments have a “Standby” mode, in which power is still
supplied to the instrument. For the purpose of clearing data, putting the instrument
in Standby mode does not qualify as powering off. For these products, you will
need to either press a rear-panel OFF switch or remove the power source from the
instrument.
Remove. This is a physical means to clear the data by removing the memory
device from the instrument. Instructions are available in the product Service
Manual.
MTM400A Declassification and Security Instructions iii

Preface
Sanitize. This eradicates the data from media/memory so that the data cannot be
recovered by other means or technology. This is typically used when the device
will be moved (temporarily or permanently) from a secured area to a non-secured
area.
Scrub. This is equivalent to sanitize.
User-modifiable. The user can write to the memory device during normal
instrument operation, using the instrument interface or remote control.
Volatile memory. Data is lost when the instrument is powered off.

Clear NVRAM
Use the following procedure to clear the nonvolatile RAM:
1. Remove power.
2. Remove the top cover.
3. Push the NVRAM clear button on the MTM400A Processor card for
10 seconds.
4. Replace the cover.
NOTE. Removing the top cover of the instrument and accessing the NRVRAM
clear button are described in the MTM400A Transport Stream Monitor Technical
Reference (Tektronix part number: 071-2495-xx).

Clear and Sanitize Procedures
Clear IGMP Subscriptions (Gigabit Ethernet Interface card only)
Use the following procedure to clear the IGMP subscriptions.
1. Open the MTM400A monitor user interface.
2. Open the Stream – Input Card screen.
3. Select the IGMP sessions display.
4. Select multi-IGMP mode.
5. For each address to be deleted, type the IP address in the IGMP delete box
and press Enter.
Recovering from NVRAM and IGMP subscription clear
To recover from the Clear NVRAM and Clear IGMP Subscription procedures,
follow the setup procedures described in the MTM400A MPEG Transport Stream
Monitor Quick Start User Manual (Tektronix part number: 071-2492-xx).

Troubleshooting
How to Clear or Sanitize a Non-Functional Instrument
If your instrument is not functioning and you need to clear or sanitize it, proceed as
follows:
MTM400A Main Processor Card
Remove power and remove battery; this will clear any configuration information.
The MAC and IP addresses are held in an EPROM. If this needs to be sanitized,
the instrument must be returned to Tektronix.
NOTE. Removing the instrument’s top cover and access to the battery are
described in the MTM400A MPEG Transport Stream Monitor Technical
Reference, (Tektronix part number: 071-2495-xx).
Gigabyte Ethernet Interface Card
This card stores the list of IGMP subscription addresses that are in use. If this card
needs to be sanitized, the instrument must be returned to Tektronix.
RF Interface Cards
The RF interface cards store immediate values in memory, for example, current
frequency. These values are lost when power is removed.
How to Recover from Clearing or Removing the Instrument
Memory
Follow the procedures in the MTM400A MPEG Transport Stream Monitor Quick
Start User Manual (Tektronix part number: 071-2492-xx) to set network, time, and
license information, and then reconfigure tests to your application.
