Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions with which you should become familiar.
Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep those
instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:
Names of front panel controls and menus appear in the same case (initial
capitals, all uppercase, and so forth) in the manual as is used on the MTX100B
front panel and menus.
Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.
Bold text refers to specific interface elements that you are instructed to select,
click, or clear.
Example: Press the Menu button to open the File menu.
Italic text refers to document names or sections. Italics are also used in
NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS.
Example: Generally, the performance check described in the Performance
Verification section, should be done every twelve months. In addition, a

MTX100B Specifications and Performance Verification
Introduction
This manual contains information needed to properly service the MTX100B
MPEG Recorder & Player, as well as general information critical to safe and
effective servicing.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the MTX100B, consider the following
before attempting service:
The procedures in this manual should be performed only by a qualified service
person.
Read the General Safety Summary and the Service Safety Summary.
When using this manual for servicing, be sure to follow all warnings, cautions,
and notes.
Performance Check Interval
Generally, the performance check described in the Performance Verification
section, should be done every twelve months. In addition, a performance check is
recommended after module replacement.
If the MTX100B does not meet performance criteria, repair is necessary.

Specifications
Specifications
Tables 1 through 13 list the functional, electrical, mechanical, and environmental
characteristics of the MTX100B. All listed specifications are guaranteed unless
labeled “typical”. Typical specifications are provided for your convenience but
are not guaranteed.
Software Protection
The MTX100B software options require that a software key, and beginning with
V10.1, an OptionDongle be installed so that the purchased set of options can
be accessed.
CAUTION. The software key/OptionDongle must be installed on the instrument
before the MTX100B software application will operate.
The software key is the character string that is entered into the Option Update
Key string field. Beginning with V10.1, an OptionDongle is also provided. The
OptionDongle is a small hardware device that is available in parallel port form.
The software key and the OptionDongle work together; the software polls the
OptionDongle at the beginning of the application and during the Play and Record
to verify the option coding. The type of software key used by your test system is
determined at the time of the original product order.
Any printer compatible with the installed operating system can be connected to
the unit through the parallel port version of the OptionDongle.
Performance Conditions
The electrical characteristics listed on the following pages are valid under the
following conditions:
The MTX100B must be in an environment where the temperature, altitude,
humidity, and vibration conditions are within the operating limits. (See
Table 1-13.)
The MTX100B must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes.
The MTX100B must be operating at an ambient temperature between
+5 C to +40 C, unless otherwise noted.

Performance Verification
This section provides procedures to verify the performance and functionality
of the MTX100B network interface.
Connecting to a Network
The MTX100B has a LAN (10/100/1000 Base-T) port on the rear panel for
Ethernet communications.
This section provides instructions for connecting the MTX100B to a single PC or
a network and setting the network parameters for the LAN port.
Connecting the MTX100B
to your PC or MTS400
system
The MTX100B uses the rear-panel LAN port to communicate with a PC or an
MTS400 system. Use one of the following methods to connect the MTX100B to
your PC or MTS400:
If you are connecting the MTX100B directly to a single PC, use a crossover
Ethernet cable to connect between the LAN port on the MTX100B and the
Ethernet port on the PC. If you need to construct your own crossover cable,
the following figure shows the pin connections to change on a straight cable
to produce a crossover cable.
Figure 2-1: Pin connections for a crossover Ethernet cable
If you are connecting the MTX100B to your local Ethernet network, use a
straight Ethernet cable to connect between the LAN port on the MTX100B
and the Ethernet hub port of your local network. By connecting to an Ethernet
network, you can access the MTX100B using any PC on the network.

Parameters
You can set the network parameters for the MTX100B using the Control Panel
of Windows XP.
NOTE. The following procedure requires that you are familiar with the basics of
using the Windows XP operating system. If necessary, review the Windows XP
documentation.
Perform the following procedure to set the network parameters for the MTX100B:
1. Connect the keyboard and the mouse provided with the instrument to the
USB connectors on the front panel. You can connect them to either of the
connectors.
2. Select File > Minimize or File > Exit to close the MTX100B MPEG player.
The Windows XP desktop appears.
3. Select Settings > Control Panel from the Start menu to display the Control

Figure 2-5: Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box
The settings in the dialog box depend on whether a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server is in the network connected to the MTX100B.
When the DHCP Server Is in the Network. If the DHCP server is in the network,
perform steps 9 and 10, otherwise skip to step 11.
9. In the dialog box, select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain
DNS server address automatically.
10. Click the OK button.
The MTX100B accesses the DHCP server and obtains the addresses
automatically when connected to the network.
Refer to the user documentation supplied with your server OS for detailed
information about DHCP server functions.
NOTE. In some network environments, the MTX100B may not be able to obtain
the IP address automatically from a DHCP server. In this case, you need to enter
the appropriate address value in each submenu item.

When the DHCP Server Is Not in the Network. If the DHCP server is not in the
network, perform the following procedure to set the network parameters.
11. If you connect the MTX100B directly to a single PC or an MTS400 system:
a. In the dialog box, select Use the following IP address.
b. Set the IP address parameter to be the same IP address as the PC or the
MTS400 system address except for the last digit. The last digit must be
different from the last number in the PC or the MTS400 system IP address.
c. Set the Subnet mask parameter to be the same net mask (subnet mask)
used by the PC or the MTS400 system. Do not enter a number if the PC or
the MTS400 system does not have a net mask.
d. You do not need to enter a Default gateway if you are directly connected
to a single PC or an MTS400 system.
12. If you connect the MTX100B to your local Ethernet network:
a. In the dialog box, select Use the following IP address.
b. Ask your local network administrator and set the appropriate addresses.
CAUTION. To prevent communication conflicts on your Ethernet network,
ask your local network administrator for the correct numbers to enter in the
dialog box if you connect the MTX100B to your local Ethernet network.
13. Verify the Ethernet connection by using a ping command from the PC or
the MTS400 system.

the illustrations.
NOTE. Before you begin the performance verification procedures, be sure that
the MTX100B is operating in an environment that is within the operating limits.
(See Table 1-13 on page 1-17.)
