Requirements NANL-B500G-RE (Autonomous operating
mode)
In the "Autonomous operating mode" of the NANL-B500G-RE device
(starting with the netANALYZER image version 1.2.0.0) the analyzer device
is not connected to a PC. In the function mode
"Live dump mode"
the
netANALYZER device NANL-B500G-RE stores all recorded data traffic
directly on a connected USB memory device.
Requirements for using the Autonomous operating mode
·
netANALYZER image version 1.2.0.0 (or higher)
·
License (netANALYZER Scope): 8582.060 LIC/NANL/SA
·
For „snapshot mode“: Additionally required license 8582.001 LIC/
SCPBS
·
If necessary, further protocol-dependent or other additional licenses
(add-ons)
·
USB memory device, FAT32 formatted or ext4 formatted, at least 100
MByte memory capacity
The USB memory device can be an USB stick or an USB hard disk. The
USB socket on the NANL-B500G-RE device supplies a maximum of
500 mA, sufficient to connect an USB stick. If an USB hard disk with
higher power consumption is connected, a separate power supply is
required.
Important:
FAT file system damage and data loss in case of power failure
If you are using a FAT32 file system for your USB memory device,
be aware that file system errors can occur in the event of a power
failure. This means if the power supply to the analyzer device will be
interrupted while a recording is in progress, and if a snapshot is
being saved, the FAT file system may be damaged. For all
snapshots taken up to the time of the power interruption data can
be damaged and the USB memory device can become completely
unreadable.
Power-failure-proof data capturing using ext4 formatting
If you are using an ext4 file system, no file system errors occur as a
result of a power interruption. However you must note, that even if
you are using an ext4 file system, the data in the snapshot affected
by the power failure may still be damaged. In this case, only the
snapshot whose data was captured at the time of the power failure
is likely to be damaged. However, all previously saved snapshots
are backed up and remain undamaged.

operating mode can be found in section
