Selecting a Location

Selecting a Location

Select a location for your probe where it will be the most useful. The probe must be connected to a LAN to retrieve data. The data that can be retrieved was previously monitored from traffic present on the WAN where it is attached.

Consider the following installation requirements when selecting a location for yourzprobe:

A flat surface that is large enough to support the probe (requires clearance at rear and sides for cooling and rear panel access), adequate wall space, or double high space in a 19 inch rack or cabinet.

A grounded power outlet (either 100-120/VAC or 220-240/VAC).

Access to a Fast Ethernet connection tap or to a Token-Ring network MsAU connection (if the Token-Ring Telemetry option is installed).

Access to the WAN connection to monitor.

Access to an RS-232C connection (required only for Out-of-Band

zcommunication).

Access to a phone line and a modem within 50 feet (required only for Out- of-Band communication using a modem connection).

NOTE

The MAC addresses for the probe can be found on the rear panel. It is a good idea

 

to make a note of the interface and its address prior to installing your probe

 

because some installation methods make it difficult to see the rear panel without

 

removing the probe.
