will be listed in the Application Tables as in the following example: UDP non-

WKP:4620

This feature only affects the tables or charts that display TCP/UDP port numbers.

The display is affected for monitor views only of local modules. If you want

to display port numbers and name the ports in the display for remote devices, see “Assigning Names to Protocols (Monitor)” on page 21 of this chapter. Also refer to this section for more information on non-WKP numbers.

Monitor M-QoS Only Mode

By restricting monitor mode to multimedia tables only, you can improve the rate at which Surveyor is able to view multimedia protocols without dropping packets. The monitor Multi-QoS only mode is disabled by default; all view tables are built in monitor mode.

Check the Monitor M-QoS Only box to limit monitor mode to building Multi-QoS tables only. All monitor table buttons are grayed out with the exception of MAC sta- tistics.

This mode can be applied to any local analyzer device. For remote devices, Monitor M-QoS Only mode can only be set for THGm/THGs/THGp devices.

MAC Control Frame

For Gigabit Ethernet a MAC Control Frame is sent to ensure that sending devices do not overflow receive buffers. For THGm devices, you can select to capture these frames or ignore them. The default is to capture MAC Control Frames. This setting applies only to THGm devices.

System Settings

System settings establish general timing, file, and port information for the Surveyor system.

Configuring Ports to Scan

Surveyor must search the ports on the local system to find an analyzer device installed in the local system. Sometimes this creates a problem with certain devices already on the system. Use this function to restrict the ports which are scanned. The dialog box for configuring ports to scan comes up on Surveyor start-up. The ports to scan are typically configured at start-up, but can be changed from Surveyor at any time.

You can use Surveyor to set the ports on the PC to scan at any time. To set up or change port scanning, do the following

1.Choose System Settings… from the Configuration menu. Select the Scanning Ports tab.
