Installing the Software
To install the software download the latest software by going to teledynelecroy.com/sw/pciexpress or follow the steps below if you have the PCIe
Protocol Suite installation DVD:
Note: You must install the software before connecting the Summit Z416 to the host machine for the first time and Administrator privileges are
required during the installation process.
1. Insert the installation disc into the host machine's DVD drive.
2. Typically, the installation process will automatically start. If it doesn't, browse to the "Autorun" folder on the installation disc, then double-click
the 'autorun.exe' file.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Note: If you get an error message during installation of the drivers, consult your system administrator.
To start the PCIe Protocol Analysis after installation, click on the executable icon in:
Start > All Programs > LeCroy > PCIe Protocol Suite
In general, the higher the performance of the host machine, the better user experience you get. The Summit Z416 is supported starting from
version 8.00 of the PCIe Protocol Analysis and later. Please refer to the Readme notes and Summit Z416 User Manual for recommended
configurations and additional information. User manuals for your Teledyne LeCroy PCI Express products can be found in: Start > All Programs
> LeCroy > PCIe Protocol Suite Documents.
Refer to the System Requirements in the readme file for information about the exact Windows operating systems supported.

7Setting Up and Connecting the Summit Z416 Protocol Exerciser
You can connect the Summit Z416 Protocol Exerciser to the host machine using USB or Ethernet.
Using an Ethernet Connection
To set up the Summit Z416 using an Ethernet connection:
1. Install PCIe Protocol Analysis on the host machine.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to a 100-volt to 240-volt, 50 Hz to
60 Hz, 160 W power outlet using the provided power cord.
3. Connect the Ethernet cable between the Ethernet port on the
Summit Z416 and an Ethernet port in the local network.
4. Power on the Summit Z416 by plugging the 24-V DC power
cable into the Controller Card.
Note 1: No driver installation is needed for Summit Z416 to
operate over a network.
Note 2: At power-on, the Summit Z416 Protocol Exerciser
initializes and performs a self-diagnostic.
Note 3: Summit Z416 is configured at the factory to use dynamic
IP setting and will get all required network parameters
from the DHCP server on your network. If the DHCP
server is not available, or to connect Summit Z416 directly
to the host machine, you can reconfigure the network
settings through the PCIe Protocol Analysis (see Summit
Z416 User Manual).
Connecting to Summit Z416 in the software
(Assuming the host PC and the Summit Z416 are on the same
subnet, Start the PCI Protocol Suite software, otherwise
please refer to the Summit Z416 User Manual.)
Start the PCIe Protocol Analysis and perform the following procedure
to connect to a Summit Z416 over the network.
1. Select the Setup > All connected devices… menu in the
PCIe Protocol Analysis application to display the Analyzer
Devices dialog.
The Summit devices in the list are marked:
•Locked: Some other client on the network is already con-
nected to that device
•Ready to connect: Available for connection
2. Select your Summit Z416 device in the list and press the
Connect button to execute the connection procedure. After the
connection is established, the application displays the
Connection Properties dialog.
3. Select an option:
•Automatically connect to the device: When the
application is started or when the named device appears
on the network while the PCIe Protocol Analysis
application is running on this computer, the PCIe Protocol
Analysis application will try to connect to the named
device.
•Ask if I want to connect to the device: When the
application is started or when the named device appears
on the network while the PCIe Protocol Analysis
application is running on this computer, the PCIe Protocol
Analysis application will display a message box allowing
you to connect to the named device.
•Take no action: When you start the application or when
the named device appears on the network while the PCIe
Protocol Analysis application is running on this computer,
you must connect manually to use the named device.
Note: When you close the application on this computer (or
you perform manual disconnect), the application
disconnects from the device.
4. Press OK in the Connection Properties dialog. After you finish
the connect procedure, the Summit Z416 to which you have
connected is marked as Connected and you can use it for
recording.
Note 1: To disconnect from a device, display this dialog, select the
device, and click the Disconnect button.
Note 2: The Summit Z416 will not appear in the Analyzer Device
dialog if it is connected on a different Subnet on your local
network. You can connect to it on the Subnet by specifying
its IP address in the Add Device dialog.
