Anritsu offers three models of remote spectrum monitoring products, designed to both mitigate interference problems and to identify illegal or unlicensed signal activity.
• The MS27101A is housed in a ½ rack enclosure with 1U height, designed exclusively for indoor applications.
• The MS27102A is an IP67 rated device which operates outdoors, with the ability to be mounted on poles or walls (using the included mounting bracket).
• The MS27103A is a multi-port spectrum monitor (12 RF In ports or optionally 24 RF In ports), which is ideal for cellular, DAS and other applications requiring the use of multiple antennas.
• For OEM solutions, Anritsu offers the MS27100A receiver board design. With the same remote monitoring features as the MS27101A and the MS27102A, users can mount the MS27100A in their own rack configurations or place the boards in their own enclosures for a customized design.
This Remote Spectrum Monitor User Guide is part of a set of manuals that describe all of the instrument functions and their use. This manual covers the instrument overview, installation, system functions and other common features, along with a brief guide to basic measurement concepts and setups.
Getting Started
Initial connection to the instrument must be made directly from the PC to the instrument using a crossover cable. Once a direct Ethernet connection to the instrument is established, it can be manually operated using a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) that is hosted on the instrument, or the instrument can be controlled via SCPI command programming. The embedded GUI facilitates access to all instrument features and their controls, in addition to live display of measurement data. The GUI provides Help content that covers both manual and programmatic means of operation. Simply click the Help tab to open links for each topic.
The spectrum monitor is shipped with the following default IP configuration:
• DHCP: OFF (Static IP Address)
• Static IP Address: 10.0.0.2
• Static Subnet: 255.255.255.0
• Static Gateway: 10.0.0.0
