Installing Analyzer Hardware
The sections below provide installation information for the Finisar analyzer cards in
different hardware and software environments.
Installing Analyzer Hardware in a Desktop PC
Finisar offers an analyzer card that can be installed in a desktop PC. For PCI bus
expansion slots, Finisar offers the THGm analyzer card for 10/100/1000 Ethernets.
Finisar analyzer cards or other NDIS-compatible adapters can be installed in the
local PC before or after Surveyor software is installed. However, it is recommended
that you install local adapters or analyzer cards before you launch Surveyor software
for the first time.
Finisar analyzer cards install in a PC like any other card. The THGm analyzer card
can be installed as a Plug‘n’Play device for Windows 2000/XP. Refer to the
instructions below.
