Page 4: General Information
Page 4 LAN-WAN Test Equipment 1. General Information The PROFISHARK is a straightforward solution. In-Line, it sees and monitors all 7 protocol layers. It captures and aggregates Full-Duplex traffic at Wire- Speed (200Mb). It requires only one USB 2.0 (480Mb) port. It is a cost- effective, ultra compact, easy to use solution. - Page 5 There are several ways to indicate this kind of errors with PROFISHARK: via LEDs on the frontpanel, via the EasyStat or with the used Analyzer. Finally, ProfiTAP is declined under different versions depending on option chosen. In fact we provide to our consumers the ability to lead their analysis as they wish.

Page 13 chart or graph prior to a deeper investigation performed by an Analyzer. In addition to the display of CRC errors via LEDs on the front of PROFISHARK device, it displays detailed informations about RX and TX lines of the monitored link with the EasyStat. - Page 14 Page 14 LAN-WAN Test Equipment The picture on the prior page shows the set of counters and informations available for the monitored transmitted (TX) and received (RX) lines : PROFISHARK counts the following events : CRC error, size bracket of fra- mes, undersized and oversized frames, collisions and jabbers.
- Page 15 Page 15 Meters This view use meters and gauges in order to display the average bandwidth utilization and CRC error occurances. The values are percentage of the total of seen packets on the monitored TX and RX lines. This tab offers setting up thresholds for bandwidth traffic and CRC error and to write an event into a log if the values exceeds this thresholds.

Page 16: Nanosec Converter
Page 16 LAN-WAN Test Equipment 4.2 NanoSec Converter (model C1AP-100) For Packet Capture with/via PROFISHARK, the TAP can be set to add a 5 nanosecond resolution time information to each packet. (see chapter: User SetUp) Note: As of today, to take advantage of this nanosecond timestamp it is mandatory to perform the initial packet capture in combination of PROFISHARK and Wireshark. - Page 17 Page 17 Window of NanoSec Converter During conversion, follow the instruction as displayed in the application window. Note : The native capture file(s) will not be changed. After conversion, open the ns.***.pcap file(s) with Wireshark. You will find the precise timing information at its proper position.

Copy the files ‘User SetUp.jar’ and ‘jnetpcap.dll’ to the same directory on your hard disk. If you’re running a Windows based OS, you can copy ‘jnetpcap.dll’ to c:\windows\system32 instead. You may create a shortcut on your desktop to have the ProfiTAP User SetUp available in one click. Notes : The software is a Java based application as well. -
Page 19: Usage
Page 19 2. Usage Run the program: a green button in the upper left corner of the User SetUp window indicates that PROFISHARK is properly installed and connected. As shown above there are four configurable options/settings available : - CRC error filter... - Page 20 You may consider CRC32 bytes to be useless, This option allows the TAP to truncate this information from your frames. Please keep in mind that since ProfiTAP natively keeps packets containing CRC errors, all of the erro- neous packets will be treated like fair ones.
- Page 21 Check factory option : a click on that button will indicates through the CRC LEDs of PROFISHARK which option(s) is(are) implemented. Right LED lightning indicates whether filter setup (corresponding software : ProfiTAP User SetUp) is available or not. Left LED lightning indicates whether timestamp (corresponding software : NanoSec Converter) is available or not.
