3. Connecting for ProbeSync Capture
Any Frontline BPA 500 analyzer with ProbeSync can be connected together to run off of a common clock, ensuring that the timestamps
are precisely synchronized between the sniffing hardware.
Simply plug the supplied Cat 5 cable into the OUT connector on the sniffer that will be supplying the clock (the master) and connect the
other end to the IN connector on the sniffer to be sharing the master’s clock (the slave). If more than two Frontline devices or BPA 500
hardware are used, just connect the OUT connector from the first slave to the second slave IN connector. If a BPA 500 hardware is
being used with a Frontline 802.11 or HSU device, the BPA 500 hardware must be the master. The combined length of all the
ProbeSync cables connected at a given time should not exceed 1.5 meters (4.5 feet).
4. Select Data Capture Method
Now that the devices are on, the ComProbe hardware fired up and correctly positioned , the next step is to open BPA 500 and select
the data capture method.
