Keysight N1091..CA Series IEEE 802.3 NRZ Compliance Test Application
Getting Started
1
Introduction
Use the instructions in this Guide to install and set up the N1091..CA Series IEEE 802.3 NRZ
Compliance Test Application. Once the procedures in this document are completed, you can begin
compliance testing. Information on using the application is included in the application's Online Help.
Your licenses determine where you install the IEEE 802.3 NRZ Test App and FlexDCA applications.
The IEEE 802.3 NRZ Test App license allows you to install the application on either a specific PC or a
specific N1000A or 86100D DCA-X instrument. This selection is made at the time you redeem your
licenses.

DCA-X Supported Configurations
A PC attached to an N1000A or 86100D
DCA-X oscilloscope (in Legacy
configuration) over LAN. The PC has IEEE
802.3 NRZ Test App software application,
N1010A FlexDCA, N1010100A (F-AEYE)
for N1000A or 86100DU-401 licenses, and
IO Connection Expert installed on it.
A PC attached to N1000A or 86100D
DCA-X oscilloscope (in Standard
configuration) over LAN. The PC has IEEE
802.3 NRZ Test App software application,
N1010100A (F-AEYE) for N1000A or
86100DU-401 licenses, and IO Connection
Expert installed on it.
N1000A or 86100D DCA-X oscilloscope in
Standard configuration. The oscilloscope
has IEEE 802.3 NRZ Test App,
86100DU-401 license or F-AEYE license
under N1010100A R&D package, and IO
Connection Expert installed on it.
Select from one of the three different test-equipment configurations shown in the following
pages. The configuration that you select depends on where the N1091..CA Series IEEE 802.3 NRZ
Compliance Test Application is installed, as determined by the licenses, and whether you are
using the N1010A FlexDCA application.
After locating the figure that matches your setup, follow the recommended procedure.
DCA-M Supported Configurations
A PC directly connected to the N109X with a USB cable. The PC has IEEE 802.3 NRZ
Test App software application, N1010A FlexDCA, N109x-401 license or F-AEYE
license under N1010100A R&D package, and IO Connection Expert installed on it.
Configuration 1: Connect the primary test system PC to a low-cost modern PC via
LAN. The FlexDCA interface resides on the second PC. The second PC is then
connected to the N109x via USB. This eliminates most issues of compatibility
between an existing test system PC and the N109X hardware and can greatly simplify
converting an 86100D system to an N109X system.
Configuration 2: An N1000A or 86100D mainframe connected to the N109X with a
USB cable. The N1000A or 86100D has FlexDCA installed on it. The N1000A or
86100D can then be controlled via GPIB or LAN by a PC that has IEEE 802.3 NRZ Test
App installed on it.
The PC with IEEE 802.3 NRZ Test App has N109x-401 license or F-AEYE license
under N1010100A R&D package and IO Connection Expert installed on it.
An N1000A or 86100D mainframe connected to the N109X with a USB cable. The
86100D has FlexDCA and IEEE 802.3 NRZ Test App installed on it.
