Introduction
The SierraNet M168 is Teledyne LeCroy's 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel Analyzer and Jammer
platform. It has eight SFP+ 10 GigE / 16G FC ports. Up to 64 GB of capture memory allows for capturing of extensive
line-speed data.
The SierraNet M168 ports allow signals to pass through without re-timing, ensuring that the test platform is as transparent
as possible. The analyzer can be controlled either via a one (1) Gigabit Ethernet connection to the local network or via a
USB connection. The SierraNet M168 provides the user with easy-to-understand control panel and LED indicators.
Major features of the M168 include triggering on back-to-back events, use of counters within trigger conditions, and
multi-state (up to 24) triggering and filtering state machines with four transitions per state.
The Net Protocol Suite software for controlling the analyzer and displaying the captured data installs on the latest
Microsoft
Windows
. See the Readme file for the latest information on host-machine requirements.
