User’s Guide
• Use synchronized THGm modules for full-duplex capture.
• For options to be displayed under the
Host
menu, you must select the local host
name in the Resource Browser. Selecting a resource within the local host makes
the options in the
Host
menu unavailable.
• Use the
Properties…
option from the
Host
menu to find out information about
the host. Information includes host type, IP address, and the Surveyor software
version. The host name must be highlighted in the Resource Browser to get a
description.
• If you suspect that a remote resource is not responding, go to Summary View
and look at the Resource Browser. If the host for the remote resource is not
there, the connection has been lost with the remote host and the resource is not
available. Red
X
s appearing over a host in the Resource Browser indicate that
the host is disconnected.
• To see which capture filter or transmit specification is associated with a particu-
lar resource, choose
Active TSP and Capture Filter
from the
Module
menu.
• Use aliases to more easily identify remote devices. Use the right mouse to select
a host. Select
Properties
and enter an alias for the host.
• Use the
Resume Analysis on host with the following histogram file...
option
when connecting to a remote host (
F5
key) to save time analyzing the histo-
gram. If the connection is dropped and then reestablished you retain the sections
of data you have already downloaded via the histogram.
