Features

The Features tab regroups information about the driver and firmware version,
port status, the firmware update utility and a way to enable or disable
PROFISHARK features.
To update the PROFISHARK firmware, press the browse button, select the
firmware file and press the Flash Firmware button.
The corresponding firmware update will begin. You cannot use the PT3
Manager while the update is in progress. The update process can take a few
minutes to complete. Once it is done, please unplug and replug the
PROFISHARK device to use the new firmware. Please do not unplug the
USB port or shut your computer down during the update process.
You can download the latest firmware from the User Section at
www.profitap.com.
On the same screen, you can enable or disable the following features:
- Transmit CRC Errors: if checked, the PROFISHARK will not filter out net-
work packets with CRC errors like a normal NIC would.
- Keep CRC32: removes the CRC32 information (32-bit Frame Check Se-
quence) located at the end of the packets.
- Disable Port A: if checked, the frames which input on port A are not cap-
tured.
- Disable Port B: if checked, the frames which input on port B are not cap-
tured.
