Using
Multiple
Avalanche
Analyzers
Avalanche Analyzers are connected in a cascade using the "SYNC IN" and "SYNC OUT"
DB-9 connectors on the rear of the chassis. Avalanche supports up to eight analyzers
connected together in a cascade.
If you add a DB-9 male-to-female cable
connection between the analyzers shown,
you create a cascade which allows the
analyzers to function together as a logical
unit. Cascading increases the numbers of
ports that can be simultaneously recorded.
To set up a cascade, you connect a DB-9
cable between the SYNC OUT port on the back of one
analyzer to the SYNC IN port on the second. The first
analyzer will serve as the controlling or master analyzer. It
will transmit clocking information, Recording Option
commands and other data to the other analyzers. If you
plan to group more than two analyzers together, daisy-chain
the remaining analyzers together using additional DB-9
male-to-female cables.
Note: For Avalanche Analyzers, the resulting
connection is an open daisy chain. Do
NOT form a loop by connecting an extra
cable between the first and last analyzers.
Note: As of the date of this release, Avalanche and SASTracer Analyzers
cannot be mixed together in a cascade.
Set Up for Remote Access over an IP LAN
Analyzers can be run remotely
over an IP network. In an IP
network, the analyzers connect
their respective hosts via USB and
the hosts, in turn, connect to each
other via IP.
Setup involves installing SASSuite
software on each analyzer host, then enabling IP LAN connectivity between the hosts.
When the remote analyzer is powered on, you connect remotely control the analyzer via
its host. Your connection will be Local host => Remote host => Analyzer.
Use the command Setup > Analyzer Network to browse to the remote host.
You can cascade IP-connected analyzers by adding BNC connections between the
analyzers as described above in “Setup for Cascaded Multiple Analyzer Use” on
page 192.
