If the instrument cannot acquire a valid IP address, it can still
analyze traffic for statistics and passively discover devices.
However, without a valid IP address, the instrument cannot
run its active discovery tests.
The basic steps for monitoring and troubleshooting a wired
LAN are given below. Detailed information for a step can be
obtained by going to the referenced section provided at
each step:
1
Power on the instrument (see ”Turning the Instrument
On and Off” on page 9).
2
If necessary, configure the interface type (see ”Selecting
a LAN or WLAN Interface” on page 10).
3
Connect to the network (see ”Connecting to a Wired
Network” on page 33).
4
After you turn on and connect the instrument, it goes
through a complete power-up sequence, which entails
initializing the processor and memory, performing a
self-test, and loading the operating system and
application software. When this process is completed,
the autotest results screen (Figure 5) is displayed.
5
View autotest results for each test. See “Viewing
AutoTest Results “ on page 33.
6
Make any needed configuration changes to match your
testing environment. See “Configuring the Instrument
for a Wired LAN“ on page 36.
