Differences between Windows and Linux installs
With the following few exceptions, everything about using the DAG software and API in the Linux and
Windows environments are the same:
•
The registry editing capabilities of DAG Devices replaces the functionality of Linux’s
dagmem
and
dagload
.
•
winpcap replaces libpcap.
•
Only DAG tools applicable to the supported DAG cards are available in this release. For a list of
supported tools see the following list.
Note:
Not all DAG software releases support MS Windows, refer to the applicable release notes for specific
details.

Accessing DAG tools in Windows
Once the DAG software is installed you can start to use the DAG tools via a command prompt.
To access a command prompt in the Windows Server operating system(2003 or 2008), use the
WinDAG
Command Prompt
tool. This tool opens a command window in the appropriate directory. The window is
configured to display a wider than normal command window with orange text.
WinDAG Command Prompt
The
WinDAG Command Prompt
tool opens a custom command window which enables you access to the
supported DAG tools. It opens in the directory containing the DAG tools.
When the
WinDAG Command Prompt
tool opens it:
•
provides a wider command window in order to see the DAG tool outputs.
•
automatically displays details about the installed DAG cards.
Note:
The DAG tools use the Unix style operands, i.e. they use "-" instead of "/".
