1.5 Chassis Mounting Brackets
A Multi-Protocol Analyzer (MPA) rackmount chassis ships with
mounting brackets attached to either side of the chassis.
Because of the variety of screw thread dimensions used with
different racks, you must supply four (4) mounting screws
specifically threaded to attach the chassis to your rack’s mounting
rails.
Danger of electrostatic discharge!
An ESD Wrist Strap Terminal (4 mm banana jack) is located on the left mounting bracket.
Static electricity can harm electronic components. You must wear proper ESD protection,
such as ESD shoe grounders or an ESD wrist strap, before installed or exchanging any
electric component within this system.
1.6 How to install the chassis into a rack
1. Determine where you want to install the 1U chassis in the rack.
➢The chassis requires ventilation on the left and right sides of the chassis only
➢No ventilation is required on the top or the bottom of the chassis.
2. Lift and position the chassis into place. Align the four screw slots on the mounting
brackets with the screw holes on the rack’s rails.
3. While one installer holds the chassis in place, insert the first customer-supplied rail screw
into one of the bottom screw slots on the mounting bracket and fasten the screw to the
mounting rail.
4. Insert another rail screw into the opposite bottom mounting bracket and fasten the screw
to the mounting rail. This provides temporary support of the unit in the rack.
5. Attach the remaining two customer-supplied rail screws to the mounting brackets’ top
screw slots.
1.7 EMI Shielding and Airflow Warning
Warning! Never turn the chassis Power on with any
of the bays/slots unpopulated or uncovered!
Before turning the chassis Power On, verify that the
Fan Trays, the MCH controller module, and all of the
AMC cards are properly inserted, and verify that any
empty bays have blank filler plate covers inserted.
Blank filler plates are needed for both EMI shielding,
and to ensure proper airflow inside the chassis.

2.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the IP Address programmed on MPA systems,
containing the new SCM-210 (System Controller Module).
For MPA system containing an AM4022 Processor and MCH Controller module, please
refer to an earlier revision of this manual (i.e. 402227N) for configuring the IP Address.
The MPA’s IP Address is configured in the SCM-210 and used for all Ethernet communication to the
MPA system, such as Remote GUI, VNC and SCPI, via the RJ-45 LAN Port.
The MPA’s current IP Address is displayed on the OLED display screen.
•When the system is shipped from the factory, the SCM-210’s default IP Address is set to
192.168.0.10, with a Subnet Address of 255.255.255.0 and Router Address of 192.168.0.1.
This chapter will cover two different methods of changing the MPAsdefault IP Address.
•USB flash drive (preferred method)
•Remote GUI Client (must currently be connected by the VNC or Remote GUI client)
Note: Regardless which method you use to change the IP Address, you will need to reboot the
MPA system in order for the setting to take effect.
For assistance with changing the IP Address, contact Tech Support.

2.2 EMI Shielding and Airflow Warning
Warning! Never turn the chassis Power on with any of the bays unpopulated or uncovered!
Before turning the chassis Power On, verify that the Fan Tray, the SCM-210 module, and all of
the AMC cards are properly inserted, and verify that any empty bays have blank filler plate
covers inserted.
This is needed for both EMI shielding, and to ensure proper airflow inside the chassis.
2.3 Changing the IP Address with a USB Flash Drive
The ability to change the MPA’s IP Address using a USB flash drive (e.g., pen drive) is a very
simple and easy method of changing the IP Address.
By attaching a USB flash drive containing the mpa_ipconfig configuration file to one of the
three USB ports, this will automatically change the MPA’s IP Address to whatever IP Address is
programmed in the mpa_ipconfig file.
Software Requirements
•mpa_ipconfig (Editable text file)
This file can is located on the USB drive that comes with the MPA unit, and can also be
downloaded and extracted from the following Zip file:
http://downloads.lightwave.com/mpa/mpa_ipconfig.zip

•PC with any text file editing software program (i.e., Notepad, Notepad++, or Wordpad)
•Optional: USB 2.0 Micro-B cable (only needed if using the USB 2.0 (Micro-B) port)
Changing the Processor’s IP Address with USB Flash
1. The mpa_ipconfig file will need to be edited using any text-editor, and then saved to a
USB flash drive’s root directory.
a. The mpa_ipconfig file is a text file, but it does not have a file extension.
b. Do not rename the mpa_ipconfig file, nor give it a file extension.
c. If you downloaded the mpa_ipconfig.zip file from the hyperlink above, extract
the mpa_ipconfig file out of the .zip file before editing it.
d. Wordpad may display the settings in an easier to read layout than Notepad.
2. To configure the MPA system for a Static IP Address:
a. Change the file’s IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway to the appropriate
settings for your network.
b. By default, this file is configured with the following text:
# MPA IP address configuration file.
IPADDR=192.168.0.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=8.8.4.4
c. The default Primary and Secondary DNS Server addresses are configured for
8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, which are public DNS addresses created by Google, and only
need to be modified if being replaced with network-specific DNS addresses.
3. To configure the MPA system to Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP server:
Note: Verify that an Ethernet cable linked to a DCHP server or router is connected
the SCM’s RJ-45 LAN management port before setting the IP Address to
DHCP.
a. Change the IP Address to the letters “DHCP”.
# MPA IP address configuration file.
IPADDR=DHCP
b. When IPADDR=DHCP is used, all further Addresses in this file are ignored.
4. Ensure the MPA system has been turned on for at least 4 to 5 minutes, and that the SCM-
210’s READY LED is solid green.

5. Close all open remote software connections to the MPA system, such as Remote GUI,
VNC, and/or SCPI.
6. Connect the USB flash drive to the appropriate USB port (the USB ports include
standard USB 2.0, USB 2.0 Micro-B (using a USB Micro-B adaptor cable), or USB 3.0).
7. Typically, within less than 30 seconds the file on the flash drive will automatically
reconfigure the IP Address and Reboot the MPA system.
8. The SCM-210’s green READY LED will turn Off, indicating that the system is rebooting.
Note: If after 30 to 45 seconds the system does not reboot, this could indicate:
a. The IP Address settings configured on the USB flash drive are the same as those
already programmed on the MPA system
b. The mpa_ipconfig file was possibly renamed, or given a file extension.
c. The mpa_ipconfig file was possibly saved to a sub-folder on the USB flash drive,
and not to the root directory.
d. If the USB flash drive was not recognized the first time was inserted, then it may
be nesseccary to unplug the USB flash drive and plug it back in again.
9. Disconnect the USB flash drive at this time.
10. Wait for 4 to 5 minutes for the MPA system to completely reboot, and verify that the new
IP Address is displayed on the OLED screen
11. The MPA is fully booted and operational again when the green READY LED illuminates.
