Using the Observer console locally on the GigaStor

Depending on how you want or need to use Observer it can be either
a graphic console to help you analyze your network data or it can be a
probe to capture data and to which other Observer consoles can
connect. Observer cannot simultaneously be a console and a probe.

In some situations you may want to run Observer locally on your
GigaStor instead of using a separate system. This is not the default
behavior for a GigaStor. This section describes how to stop the probe
that runs as a Windows service and launch Observer.

On the local GigaStor system
