Integrated Network Analyzer
Using the Analyzer

Setting Up the Analyzer to Test Your Network
Simply turn on the analyzer and connect a cable from the 10/100 BASE-T
connector (or fiber connector if you have purchased the OptiView
TM
Pro or Pro
Gigabit) to the network. The analyzer will check the cable, find the active network
interface, and obtain a non-duplicate IP address. It will then start discovering the
network. Its advanced auto-discovery process does the rest!
You can always manually assign an IP address in the Setup | TCP/ IP screen. You
can also manually assign an IP address for an alternate network as long as it is in
the same broadcast domain.
The Front Page screen is the first screen that appears after the analyzer power-up
sequence is complete (connected to an active network), as shown in Figure 2.
