User’s Guide

•Use synchronized THGm modules for full-duplex capture.

•For options to be displayed under the Host menu, you must select the local host name in the Resource Browser. Selecting a resource within the local host makes the options in the Host menu unavailable.

•Use the Properties… option from the Host menu to find out information about the host. Information includes host type, IP address, and the Surveyor software version. The host name must be highlighted in the Resource Browser to get a description.

•If you suspect that a remote resource is not responding, go to Summary View and look at the Resource Browser. If the host for the remote resource is not there, the connection has been lost with the remote host and the resource is not available. Red Xs appearing over a host in the Resource Browser indicate that the host is disconnected.

•To see which capture filter or transmit specification is associated with a particu- lar resource, choose Active TSP and Capture Filter from the Module menu.

•Use aliases to more easily identify remote devices. Use the right mouse to select a host. Select Properties and enter an alias for the host.

•Use the Resume Analysis on host with the following histogram file... option when connecting to a remote host (F5 key) to save time analyzing the histo- gram. If the connection is dropped and then reestablished you retain the sections of data you have already downloaded via the histogram.
