THGm (Ten/Hun-
dred/Thousand
module) THGm is Finisar’s premier analyzer card for 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks.
THGm supports all counters in Surveyor and supports all capture functions at
full line rate. TheTHGm also supports monitor and transmit functions. Special
views are supported for viewing the capture buffer when the device is
stopped. For THGm, you do not have to stop the device to load/unload filters.
The default mode for THGm is C Monitor. THGm cards do not sup-
port C Transmit mode.
THGs or THGsE The THGs is a protocol analysis tool that contains its own processor and two
THGm modules. The THGm modules in THGs support all counters in Sur-
veyor. THGm supports all capture and transmit functions at full line rate.
The THGm modules are synchronized so you can analyze a full-duplex net-
work segment from a single view. When viewing a THGs resource in the
Resource Browser, you will see three “devices”: one for the first THGm card,
one for the second THGm card, and one for the two cards synchronized as a
set. The default mode for modules in THGs is C Monitor. THGm
cards in THGs do not support C Transmit mode.
THGnotebook The THGnotebook is a portable PC analyzer system consisting of a Note-
book PC running analyzer software and a portable undercarriage containing
two THGm cards. The THGm modules in THGnotebook support all features
and functions in Surveyor. THGm supports all capture functions at full line
rate and has a monitoring capability. When two THGm modules are
present, they are synchronized so you can analyze a full-duplex network seg-
ment from a single view. When viewing THGnotebook resources in the
Resource Browser, you will see three “devices” for each pair of synchronized
THGm cards in the device: one for the first THGm card, one for the second
THGm card, and one for the two cards synchronized as a set. The default
mode for modules in THGnotebook is C Monitor. THGm cards in
THGnotebook do not support C Transmit mode.
THGp The THGp is a portable PC system (Dolch PC) that contains up to four
THGm modules. The THGm modules in THGp support all features and func-
tions in Surveyor. THGm supports all capture functions at full line rate and
has a monitoring capability. When two THGm modules are present, they
are synchronized so you can analyze a full-duplex network segment from a
single view. When viewing THGp resources in the Resource Browser, you
will see three “devices” for each pair of synchronized THGm cards in the
device: one for the first THGm card, one for the second THGm card, and one
for the two cards synchronized as a set. The default mode for modules in
THGp is C Monitor. THGm cards in THGp do not support C
Transmit mode.
