2.2 NuStreams Software
2.2.1 NuWIN (NuStreams Window)
NuWIN is an interactive GUI-based software interface, which allows all features of the
NuStreams hardware to be programmed and operated. The programming paradigm
calls for each port to be individually set up, and included facilities for copying port
configuration from one port to others. A number of displays are available for viewing
captured packets, statistics and port latency.
2.2.1.1 Chassis Chain
Chassis Chain is a set of NuStreams chassis. The NuStreams chassis chain
corresponds to the hardware chain.
2.2.1.2 Chassis
Chassis is a single NuStreams chassis capable of holding different NuStreams module
cards. The ID of each chassis must be set (XM-2S19); the type of the chassis is
automatically discovered by the software (NuStreams-2000i). A chassis may hold any
mix of module cards.
2.2.1.3 Card
The types of cards loaded in a chassis and the appropriate number of ports are
automatically detected. Each port on a card has the same capabilities.
2.2.1.4 Port
The NuStreams port corresponds to an individual port on a NuStreams module card.
Each port is independently programmed in terms of its transmit, capture and statistics
capabilities. The NuStreams software shows four separate views for programming and
viewing operations:
Address Tables—sets up a range of MAC addresses for which the port will
respond to ARP requests and PING requests.
