(Wide mode). This increases the loop bandwidth to about 10 kHz, which enables the MTM400 to more easily acquire and track a jittered constellation, but makes the demodulator more susceptible to thermal noise.
RF data and constellations even if the MPEG data is not valid. In QAM mode, the MTM400 behaves more like a conventional QAM analyzer. MPEG mode is the default setting and is recommended for most applications. The range controls, LoopBWwide (PLL bandwidth) and AFCwide (AFC range), are operable in both MPEG and QAM analysis modes.

Event SNMP Traps In the MTM400, traps are used to report alerts or other asynchronous events generated by the core program. The MTM400 Programmer Manual describes the MIB (Management Information Base), which generates the SNMP traps. The following tables show the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps that are available for each Event Identity.

Configuration File Structure Defaults Default values are ‘hardwired’ into the MTM400; they will be used when no value has been given using a configuration file. However for some elements, alternative default values can be supplied, for example, <Program>. If the defaults are supplied through the configuration file, all subsidiaries of that element will use those defaults unless specific values are given.

WARNING The following servicing instructions are for use only by qualified personnel. To avoid injury, do not perform any servicing other than that stated in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Refer to all safety summaries before performing any service.
Hardware Maintenance This section describes the general care and service procedures for the MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor and includes the following subsections: H Preventive Maintenance provides cleaning instructions. H Rack Mounting provides instructions for installing the unit in a 19-inch equipment rack.
CAUTION. Efficient cooling will be maintained in a rack-mounted unit if the air temperature at all intake air vents (inside the rack) does not exceed 40_C. WARNING. To avoid fire hazard and injury, the MTM400 must be installed in the rack only as specified, and proper ventilation must be maintained.
Installing the MTM400 Unit 1. Pull the slide-out track section to the fully extended position. 2. Insert the MTM400 chassis sections into the slide-out sections. 3. Press the stop latches and push the unit toward the rack until the latches snap into their holes.
Once the instrument is in place within the rack, tighten the knurled retaining screw to fasten it securely into the rack. The slide-out tracks do not require lubrication. The dark gray finish on the tracks Rack Slide Maintenance is a permanent, lubricated coating. MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor Technical Reference 4−4...

15. Line up the instrument top cover and replace the 21 retaining screws (see Figure 4−4 on page 4−6). 16. The Interface board will be detected and initialized when the MTM400 unit Select the Interface is switched on. Before the Interface board can be used, it must be selected through the user interface and an input must be provided.
Hardware Maintenance Battery Maintenance The MTM400 unit uses a pair of Lithium batteries to provide power to the backup circuits when mains power is off. Under normal circumstances, the shelf life of the batteries is in excess of five years.
Page 312
7. Reinstate the network identity of the unit (refer to Network Installation in the MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor User Manual). 8. If required, reinstate the configuration information. Refer to the MTM400 MPEG Transport Stream Monitor User Manual for instructions on how to restore the configuration settings.
Hardware Maintenance Repacking for Shipment If an instrument is to be shipped to a Tektronix field office for repair, attach a tag to the instrument showing the following: H Owner’s name and address H Serial number H Description of the problem(s) encountered and/or service required.
