Network Analyzer Software provides the following functions:
• It controls the J6800A Network Analyzer, J6801A Distributed Network Analyzer and
J6802A Distributed Network Analyzer MX hardware analyzers to provide testing on any
of the available LAN or WAN LIMs (WAN includes ATM) and it controls the J6805A
Distributed Network Analyzer ME to provide testing on its NDIS-based test interfaces.
• It runs on a PC fitted with a standard NDIS-based network interface card (10/100/1000
Mb/s Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI) and uses this card as the measurement interface for
LAN testing.
• It acts as the client for accessing and controlling a Network Analyzer Software NDIS
Server that is operating on another PC.
• It allows the user to perform full off-line analysis on data previously captured from any
Network Analyzer family product, Agilent Advisor or NDIS-based NIC.
The Network Analyzer Software is available separately as the J6840A product, which
should be ordered for the following situations:
• For an engineer who does not own or has not ordered a hardware analyzer but who
wants to run Network Analyzer Software on a standard PC fitted with an NDIS-based
network interface card and use this for measurements and/or run off-line analysis on data
captured and saved on another PC, or Network Analyzer hardware platform.
• For an engineer who wants to access and control a Network Analyzer Software NDIS
Server operating on another PC
• For two or more engineers who want to share a Distributed Network Analyzer but control
it from their own PCs when they have access to it; the single-use license key provided
with each copy of the J6840A product will allow those engineers temporarily without
access to the Distributed Network Analyzer to perform off-line analysis on data they have
previously captured and/or perform LAN testing using a fitted LAN NDIS card. They can
also control the Distributed Network Analyzer when they have access to it.
Add-on software can also be ordered but requires Network Analyzer Software to be
present and licensed in its own right already. Add-on products currently available are:
• J5425A Switch Advisor
• J5434A SAN Network Analyzer
• J5479A Voice Quality Tester (VQT) 10/100 Interface
• J6825A ATM IMA License for the J6824A Eight-port E1/T1 LIM
• J6842A 3G UMTS W-CDMA Test Software
• J6844A Telephony Network Analyzer
• J6845A 3G cdma2000 Test Software
• J6765A RFC2544 Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet Benchmarking
An additional standalone software product is:
• J6848A Report Center (note: this software can also be used with the Agilent Advisor)

Analyzer Data Sheet and the Agilent Network Analyzer Technical Overview (see the
