Page 101: Synchronizing To The Stratasync Server
Synchronizing to the StrataSync server To automatically obtain the latest configuration settings, software options, updates and ownership registration information, the instrument may be synchronized with a Viavi server via the Internet with an optional subscription-based service called StrataSync. In addition to the latest operating software, the synchronization also stores any user files saved to the unit’s hard drive on the StrataSync server.
Page 102 Chapter 3 Getting Started Setting up the instrument • After syncing with the StrataSync server, your test instrument sends identifying information about the hardware and software that currently comprise the instru- ment. If the configuration information contained on the server is newer than that on the test instrument, the server will be considered to be the most up-to-date.

Chapter 4 Basic Testing Preparing to test Preparing to test Before testing, Viavi recommends: • Verifying that you have the correct cables, connectors, transceivers, or adapters required to connect to the circuit. • Determining whether you need to synchronize near and far end instruments to a high accuracy timing reference before beginning the test.
Page 115: About Cdma Receivers
Chapter 4 Basic Testing Preparing to test About CDMA receivers CDMA base stations are synchronized to GPS time provided by a GPS Satellite; the time is then broadcast to the CDMA receivers connected to your instruments. Alterna- tively, if your instruments use GPS receivers, the receivers obtain highly accurate timing information directly from a GPS Satellite (there is no intermediary base station).
