Connecting using a Hub, Switch, or Similar Device
Connecting using a Hub, Switch, or Similar Device
When connected to the host machine using a hub, switch, Gigabit Ethernet interface, or
similar device, the Analyzer must communicate with the host computer to establish a
connection. The host computer continually broadcasts the next available IP address to the
Analyzer, until the software starts.
Connecting over Different Subnets
If the Host PC (with the Sierra software) and Sierra M6‐2 are on the same subnet, they
will see each other's broadcasts, and the Sierra M6‐2 application will automatically
appear in the Select Device dialog, from which you can select a device (as described in the
previous section).
If the Host PC and Sierra M6‐2 do not reside on the same subnet, they will not see each
other automatically. You must add the Sierra M6‐2 IP address manually. To add the IP
address, use the Add Device button (see
TCP and UDP Ports Must Be Open to Connect over Ethernet
WARNING:
Check your firewall settings before making Ethernet connections. Incorrect
firewall settings can prevent LeCroy applications from detecting analyzers on
the network, though Ping works correctly. Consult your Firewall
documentation to allow LeCroy applications to the network.
The following TCP and UDP ports must be open to connect over the Ethernet:
Launching Your Analyzer
To launch the software, double‐click the SAS or SATA Icon in the Program Manager
Window.
Operating in Simulation Mode
The system operates in Simulation Mode by default if the software detects no hardware.
However, you can operate in Simulation Mode directly, without installing the Analyzer
hardware. To operate without hardware, select Hardware Not Installed (Simulation
Mode) in the Device Selection dialog box and click OK.
The Analyzer software launches and displays the appropriate tool bar, but with the
limitation that the Analyzer operates only on static, previously captured, bus data.
