Using LiveWire Edge
Network Monitoring
For network monitoring, LiveWire Edge is used
together with LiveNX. LiveWire Edge is
connected to the network and configured to
send data to LiveNX (this data is called
LiveFlow), and LiveNX collects network
statistics from one or more LiveWire Edge
devices for long-term reporting and trending.
Understanding the network and solving
problems is extremely visual using LiveNX, and
with its unique integration to network packets
stored on the LiveWire Edge devices, you have
access to the detailed data required for
immediate root-cause analysis.
Network Troubleshooting
LiveWire Edge can also be used as a
stand-alone network packet recording and
analysis device. LiveWire Edge includes a copy
of Omnipeek
®
, LiveAction’s premier software
for understanding network performance and
operation based on solely packet data. A web
browser version of Omnipeek is also built-in,
which any number of users can connect to at
the same time. With Omnipeek and LiveWire
Edge, you can capture and decode packets
and interact with high level visualizations to
understand network and application
performance, VoIP performance, user activity,
security issues, and much more.
The registered owner can download the latest
version of Omnipeek from their MyPeek
account at:
https://mypeek.liveaction.com
LiveNX Integration
To use LiveWire Edge to export LiveFlow data
to a LiveNX server, go to Captures > + New
LiveFlow Capture in the Omnipeek Web interface,
and adjust any configuration settings as needed.
You will also need to specify router mappings if
you use the bridge ports for the capture.
Additionally, in the LiveNX application, when
adding a LiveWire Edge device to LiveNX from the
Add Device dialog, configure the 'Enter SNMP
connection settings for this device' option as
follows:
SNMP Version:
Version 3
User Name:
admin
Authentication Protocol:
SHA
Authentication Password:
Ys2Q5Xxu7g3gUoHxfUFifqiXSXjd2tkc
Privacy Protocol:
AES 128-bit
Privacy Password:
x3Fmpv9OpIsnk0Qg3rH25BKBd66fxzSK
Reset to Factory Defaults
In the event you need to reset LiveWire Edge to its
factory settings, use a paper clip or similar object
to hold down the reset button for three seconds.
If any settings need to be changed after reset,
the configuration utility will need to be run again.
