EtherScope™ Series II
Getting Started Guide
82
Enable fast connect mode (applies to wired LAN
only): lets you quickly obtain a network link and
DHCP address.
By default, when EtherScope Network Assistant
is first plugged into a network, it tries to
determine whether it is connected to the same
broadcast domain it was previously connected
to. If it is, it saves the data it previously collected.
Use the Enable fast connect mode setting when
you repeatedly connect EtherScope Network
Assistant to different networks because usage
results in a faster response time. For example,
select fast connect mode when you are verifying
the connectivity of multiple office cubicles in a
new installation. In this mode, the instrument
automatically resets its discovery database when
changing the network connection or when
returning to the Test Results screen from the
Cable or Signal Verification screens.
Edit SNMP System Name: tap
and then
supply a new SNMP system name for the
instrument. Tap
to save.
