Notes for installation and operation
You must read and follow the following instructions for installing and
operating your analyzer device
to ensure proper
installation and operation of your device.
Note
Description
Installation sequence
1. Install software from DVD.
2. Connect analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE.
Inserting netANALYZER
hardware into the
communication Link
To analyze the data transfer of a communication line between two devices, these devices
must be connected to the same
.
The bandwidth of the network connection between the NANL-B500G-RE device and the
PC must be sufficiently large to transport the resulting data of the four capturing interfaces.
NANL-B500G-RE:
Important!
The analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE must not be inserted via a switch or hub
directly into a corporate network with other devices, as long as the analyzer device is
operating in
server operation mode. Otherwise, it may lead to wrong assignment of
IP addresses and malfunction.
The analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE works by default as an external
in the
DHCP server operation mode independently and assigns IP addresses to other devices.
This may happen also to devices, which are not concerned by the netANALYZER
measurements.
Before you connect the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE to any network, ensure that
DHCP server operation
mode is disabled.
Damage of externally
attached Hardware
NANL-B500G-RE:
·
If the +3.3V output of the external IO interface is enabled (I/O status LED lights up
orange), externally attached hardware could be damaged as voltage is driven.
·
If the +24V output of the external IO interface is enabled (I/O status LED lights up red),
externally attached hardware could be damaged as voltage is driven.
Note on USB handling in autonomous mode:
The .nsprj configuration is applied
immediately when the USB memory device is connected. This means that the GPIO
configuration is also applied. It is therefore important to ensure that switching GPIO, e.g.
to the 24 V output, does not damage any externally connected circuit.
·
Before an external device is connected to the NANL B500G device, check whether the
value for the voltage for the NANL B500G device set in the software is correct.
Furthermore, check whether the external device is suitable for the application.
Auto crossover and port-
switching
Because of the auto-crossover function of most of the RTE systems, the assignment of port
0 and 1 or port 2 and 3 at the netANALYZER device can change between different test
runs. For more information refer to section
Auto-crossover and port-switching
Transferring NANL-
B500G-RE data save
without loss to the PC
Important!
The color of both LEDs on the Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet socket on the reverse
side of the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE must be green! If the right LED lights up in
orange, the transfer rate to the PC is less than 1 Gb/s, by consequence insufficient
bandwidth may occur. For more see section
LINK-ACT and LINK-1000/LINK100 (Reverse
Saved Ethernet connection
from NANL-B500G-RE to
the PC
Transmission errors on the host Gigabit interface cable (such as EMC interference or bad
connections) do not cause any data loss. However, to strong interference can lead to a
disconnection.
Autonomous operating
mode for NANL-B500G-RE
(connection to an USB
memory device)
·
If no license for "Autonomous operating mode" is available, the file "NoLicence.txt" is
created on the USB memory device with the contents: "No valid netANALYZER license
found for autonomous operation." The STA1 LED flashes red, see section
STA1, I/O, LINK and RX (Front side)
·
If when switching on the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE an USB memory device with
a partition marked as "bootable" is connected to the analyzer device NANL-B500G-RE,
the netANALYZER device may not start correctly (SYS LED is yellow).
