RF Vector Network Analyzer
N9923AN

Options

Installed options determine the functionality of the analyzer. There is a license associated
with each option. Every instrument has at least one option installed, "104", or "106". This
option determines the maximum frequency of the instrument. Additional options enable
additional modes or other functionality.
Note that the maximum frequency of the instrument may not be "upgraded". Option 104 or
106 is installed in the factory and may not be changed in the field.

Re-Installing Options

If an instrument looses all of its options (i.e. it reports or "shows" no options), the only
functionality available will be NA up to 4 GHz.
When the A6 SOM board is replaced, it is necessary to re-load the license files because the
license and option information is stored on the A6 SOM board.
Process for obtaining and re-installing options:
1. Send an email to ctd-soco_support@agilent.com
• Indicate that you need previously issued licensed for a FieldFox repair.
• Model number and serial number of the instrument.
• Maximum frequency of the instrument from the label above the display.
• A list of options from the serial number label on the back of the instrument.
• A brief description of why options need to be re-installed. This information will help
Agilent identify recurring problems that may need special attention.
2. Within two working days, you will receive an email response with a license file attached.
3. Copy the license file to the root of a USB flash drive. Follow the appropriate
instructions in the N9923AN Upgrade Installation Instructions.
