Monitoring Network Activity

WCaution

When using a coaxial T-connector to connect the test tool to a network, never allow the T-connector to touch a conductive surface. Such contact could disrupt network operation by creating a ground loop.

Note

To extend battery life, use the ac adapter/charger when monitoring network traffic for extended periods. While monitoring network traffic, the test tool’s automatic power-down function is disabled.
