To Connect the Analyzer as a Networked System
You should connect the analyzer as a networked system when you want to
remotely monitor a network. By connecting the analyzer to a networked
system, you can use either the supplied notebook PC, or an HP-UX
workstation at a remotely controlled monitoring point.
To connect the analyzer as a networked system, you need to perform the
following steps:
1 Configure the notebook PC or workstation.
2 Configure the analyzer.
3 Connect the analyzer.
4 Test for network connectivity.
5 Install the online help (UNIX workstation only).
6 Record the system administration information.
To Configure the Notebook PC or Workstation
If you are connecting the analyzer to the notebook PC via your network,
use Acadia/Vxd to reconfigure the following parameters (assigned by the
system administrator):
•
notebook PC hostname
•
notebook PC IP address
•
notebook netmask
•
default router IP address
•
analyzer’s IP address
If you are connecting the analyzer to a HP-UX workstation via your
network, complete the following steps:
1 Note down the workstation’s hostname and IP address. You will find
this information in the
/etc/hosts
file.
2 Add the analyzer’s hostname and IP address to your workstation’s
/etc/hosts
file.
