will be listed in the Application Tables as in the following example: UDP non-
WKP:4620
This feature only affects the tables or charts that display TCP/UDP port numbers.
The display is affected for monitor views only of local modules. If you want
to display port numbers and name the ports in the display for remote devices, see
“Assigning Names to Protocols (Monitor)” on page 21 of this chapter. Also refer to
this section for more information on non-WKP numbers.
Monitor M-QoS Only Mode
By restricting monitor mode to multimedia tables only, you can improve the rate at
which Surveyor is able to view multimedia protocols without dropping packets. The
monitor Multi-QoS only mode is disabled by default; all view tables are built in
monitor mode.
Check the
Monitor M-QoS Only box to limit monitor mode to building Multi-QoS
tables only. All monitor table buttons are grayed out with the exception of MAC sta-
tistics.
This mode can be applied to any local analyzer device. For remote devices, Monitor
M-QoS Only mode can only be set for THGm/THGs/THGp devices.
MAC Control Frame
For Gigabit Ethernet a MAC Control Frame is sent to ensure that sending devices do
not overflow receive buffers. For THGm devices, you can select to capture these
frames or ignore them. The default is to capture MAC Control Frames. This setting
applies only to THGm devices.
System Settings
System settings establish general timing, file, and port information for the Surveyor
system.
Configuring Ports to Scan
Surveyor must search the ports on the local system to find an analyzer device
installed in the local system. Sometimes this creates a problem with certain devices
already on the system. Use this function to restrict the ports which are scanned. The
dialog box for configuring ports to scan comes up on Surveyor start-up. The ports to
scan are typically configured at start-up, but can be changed from Surveyor at any
time.
You can use Surveyor to set the ports on the PC to scan at any time. To set up or
change port scanning, do the following
1. Choose System Settings… from the Configuration menu. Select the Scanning
Ports tab.
