Configuration Information

The Network Analyzer family consists of four hardware analysis platforms: the Network

 

Analyzer, Distributed Network Analyzer (DNA), Distributed Network Analyzer MX (DNA

 

MX) and Distributed Network Analyzer ME (DNA ME). The last of these has built-in NDIS-

 

based LAN interfaces and the remaining three accept a range of line interface modules

 

(LIMs), which are completely interchangeable.

 

The Network Analyzer, DNA, DNA MX, DNA ME, and Network Analyzer Software all

 

include one year of Agilent AdvantageTM support at no additional cost. Agilent

 

AdvantageTM support includes call center support, software update service, and web-

 

based instructor-led training. A number of other support products and education are

 

available for Network Analyzer products for an additional fee.

 

The J6800A Network Analyzer is an “all under one handle” solution with a built-in PC and

 

can accept up to two LIMs in any combination; these must be ordered separately. This

 

analyzer is also shipped with a USB optical mouse, two CD RW media, recovery CD

 

media, and power cord (localized for the country of sale).

 

The J6801A Distributed Network Analyzer is a solution for dispatched and distributed use,

 

designed to be controlled from a standard PC running Microsoft Windows® 2000, XP or

 

NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5 or greater) via a LAN connection. It can accept any of the

 

available LIMs; these must be ordered separately. It can also be attached to the Network

 

Analyzer and Distributed Network Analyzer MX platforms to provide additional ports.

 

The J6802A Distributed Network Analyzer MX is a solution with a built-in controller

 

running Network Analzyer Software for remote dispatched and distributed use, designed

 

to be accessed from a standard PC running a basic version of Network Troubleshooting

 

Center on Microsoft Windows® 2000, XP or NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5 or greater) via a LAN

 

or dial-up connection. It can accept any of the available LIMs; these must be ordered

 

separately.

 

The J6805A Distributed Network Analyzer ME is an enterprise LAN solution with a built-in

 

controller for distributed use, designed to be accessed from a standard PC running a basic

 

version of Network Troubleshooting Center on Microsoft Windows® 2000, XP or NT 4.0

 

(Service Pack 5 or greater) via a LAN connection. It has two built-in half-duplex

 

10/100Base-TX test interfaces and can test two half-duplex circuits or one full-duplex circuit.

 

Network Analyzer Software is pre-loaded and fully enabled on the Network Analyzer,

 

Distributed Network Analyzer MX and Distributed Network Analyzer ME. Network

 

Analyzer Software on CD media plus a single-use license key is shipped with the

 

Distributed Network Analyzer. The J6840A Network Analyzer Software is a productized

 

version of this software available for operation on any PC running Microsoft Windows

 

2000, XP or NT 4.0.

 

The Network Troubleshooting Center (NTC) software provides the means to perform

 

centralized testing using the various Network Analyzer hardware platforms (particularly the

 

J6802A and J6805A), and can also access information using SNMP/RMON/RMON2

 

from network equipment MIBs. A basic version of NTC software is shipped with all

 

Network Analyzer family hardware platforms, with the ability to remotely access and

 

control Network Analyzer platforms, perform SNMP-based data collection from up to four

 

data sources simultaneously (analyzers from the Network Analyzers family or interface

 

MIBs), and manage many agents. NTC also offers add-on distributed test applications,

 

including NTC RMON (J6782A) and NTC WLAN (J6783A).
