MTM400A, IPM400A, and RFM300 Specifications and Performance Verification
Performance Verification
To verify that the DTV monitor is operating correctly, perform the following
procedure.
Requirements
The DTV monitor must be connected to a network and have a valid IP address as
described in the MTM400A, IPM400A, and RFM300 Quick Start User Manuals.
The client PC must satisfy the minimum requirements. (See Table 1 on page 1.)
Procedure
1. Connect the DTV monitor to an Ethernet network.
2. Power on the DTV monitor and wait for the instrument initialization to
complete.
3. On a client PC (connected to the same network and subnet mask as the DTV
monitor), launch the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser.
NOTE. This procedure describes how to access the DTV monitor RUI using the
Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser. The RUI can also be accessed using the
Tektronix Web Monitoring Systems Manager (WebMSM). This is described in the
WebMSM User Manual, Tektronix part number 077-0116-xx.
4. In the Web browser address bar, enter the network identity or the IP
address of the DTV monitor, for example: http://TSMonitor01 or
http://111.222.333.444.
5. Press Enter. A Java applet is downloaded from the DTV monitor and
launched. The file size is approximately 1.5 MB; the download time will
depend on the network speed and traffic.
CAUTION. The Java applet will not run unless a temp directory is properly
configured on the PC. A temp directory is set up by default in the Windows XP
operating system; previous operating systems may require operator action.
The Java applet will not run unless the Sun Java Virtual Machine is installed.
Type java -version at the command prompt to verify that it is installed and that the
version is 1.6.0_10 or greater. If it is not installed, you can download the latest
version from the Sun Web site, www.java.com\getjava.
If you have to update the Java version on the PC, you will need to restart this
procedure at step 3.

6. In the Connect to MTM Device dialog box, select the Login Type from the
drop-down list, Administrator or User.
7. Enter the password for the Login Type you selected in step 6. The default
password for Administrator is tek; there is no default password for User.
8. Click Connect to start the connection process.
9. Read the End User License Agreement if it appears, and then click I Accept.
10. When the DTV monitor RUI opens, click Device in the button bar to display
the Device Information view. (See Figure 1.)
11. In the Device Information view, verify that the Application Firmware Version
is 3.2 or greater.
12. If the DTV monitor connects and presents the RUI, and displays the correct
application firmware version in the Device Information window, then the
instrument is operating normally.
