Description
ProfiShark 1G Manager is a standalone application designed
by Profitap. It provides means for statistical analysis of a
network prior to a deeper investigation using an analyzer.
It also provides options for port diagnostic, port control,
timestamping, and traffic capture. It also includes a
firmware flashing utility. ProfiShark 1G Manager can be used
simultaneously with a software network analyzer, without the
need to interrupt data capture.
Statistics
ProfiShark 1G Manager provides several different visual
representations for network statistics.
Counters
The Counters tab lists every counter embedded in the
ProfiShark 1G for both network ports. The counters are 64-bit
hardware counters. They are cleared at hardware startup and
at link reconnection.
Statistics can be reset individually for each port or for the two
ports at the same time using the buttons on the left.
Clearing the counters using the buttons does not clear the
hardware counters, but stores all counters in reference
counter. The displayed counters are the result of the formula
(hardware counter - reference counter).
