Protocol Color Coding
Surveyor provides a real-time protocol decode called Packet Summary View and
protocol decodes in Capture View. To use these displays more effectively, you may
want to set the colors used for packet display. For example, you might want to dis-
play all transport layer packets in red and all others in black if you are looking only
for protocol decode information in the transport layer.
To set up or change color coding for protocol decode, do the following:
1. Choose
System Settings…
from the
Configuration
menu. Select the
Protocol
Color Coding
tab.
2. Click on a protocol layer.
3. Using the color buttons, set the foreground and background color display for
the selected protocol.
4. Repeat as required for other protocol layers.
5. Make sure that the
Use Color Coding
box is checked.
6. Click the
OK
button.
Use the
Default All
button to return all color settings to their default values. Use the
Set Default
button to reset the default to the colors currently displayed.
Setting Update Timers
Timers control how often counters, tables, and displays are updated. There are two
types of timers, display timers and polling timers. Remote polling timers control
how often data is updated from remote systems. Display timers control how often
displays of data are updated in the Surveyor software. All timer values are in
seconds.
For local devices, the MAC Layer counters are updated every second, and other
charts and tables for local devices are updated every 10 seconds.
To configure the timers, select
System Settings…
from the
Configuration
menu.
Select the
Timers
tab. The timers are listed and described in Table 4-6, Table 4-7,
and Table 4-8.
