OptiView Series III
TM
Getting Started Guide

Security

Security is controlled through the Setup | Users, Setup | Agent, and Setup | Remote screens. If user
accounts have been enabled, you must enter a name and password to access the setup screens. You must
have administrative rights to execute the "default" command in the Root Mode. This command restores
factory defaults to the analyzer.

Setting the Remote Control PC IP Address

Set this field to specify an offnet PC running the OptiView Browser remote user interface software. By
TM
setting this field, the analyzer will send its identification back to the specified PC running the remote user
interface software. Set this field to <none>, <last connected>, or manually enter the IP address of the remote
PC that will be running the OptiView Browser remote user interface software. <last connected> is the last
remote session to terminate from the analyzer, and that PC's IP address is saved into this field.
This address is configured in the Setup | Remote screen. Optionally, this address can be configured through
the RS-232 configuration port located on the rear of the analyzer. This is done so that analyzers that are
placed on network segments other than the one the controlling PC is on will still automatically show up in
the OptiView Browser list of available analyzers.

Setting the Analyzer IP Address on the Network Under Test Interface

The network under test interface connects either through the Network 10/100/1000 or the 1000BASE-X port.
It does not include the Management Port. To set the IP address of the network under test Interface, select
Setup | TCP/IP. Refer to the analyzer Help on configuring this screen.

Setting the Analyzer IP Address on the Management Port

Select Setup | Mgmt. Port and either configure using DHCP, or enter the IP address manually.
Restoring the OptiView Workgroup Analyzer Default Configuration
TM
This task is performed through the Serial Configuration Port. Follow the instructions outlined in the section
"Configuring the Analyzer through the Serial Configuration Port" and enter the command "default". The
default command will restore all factory default settings and reboot the analyzer. If there was a password
enabled prior to entering the command, the same password is retained after rebooting.
Accessing the Analyzer through the Remote User Interface
Software
The remote user interface software will need to be installed on your PC before you will be able to remotely
interface with the analyzer. It is included on the supplied OptiView TM Resource CD (select the Install Remote
User Interface button). It is also available for download at www.flukenetworks.com.
To view decodes of the packets captured by the analyzer you need to purchase and install the Fluke
Networks Protocol Expert software. Alternatively, the captured files can, in most cases, be imported into
rd
other 3 party protocol analysis software products.
