Chapter 11: Networking
SASSuite has networking and cascading functions that are described in this chapter.
• Cascading -- Allows mutliple analyzers be linked (or "cascaded") together
into a single, synchronized, logical unit in order to increase the number of
ports that can be monitored. To enable synchronized multi-analyzer
recording, the analyzers are connected together via their connectors on the
back of the analyzers. These connections are used to send clocking
information and recording commands are sent from one analyzer to another.
• Networking -- SASSuite can support analyzers connected remotely over an
IP LAN. Using the Network browse dialog, you can remotely control one or
more analyzers.
Working with Multiple Analyzers
Multiple analyzers can be set up in three ways:
Directly Connected by USB - Two or more analyzers can be connected to a single host
PC via USB. In this setup, no additional cables are used (as they are in a Cascaded
setup) and the analyzers function as non-cascaded, standalone units. Users toggle back
and forth between the units.
Cascaded - Two or more local analyzers linked together. One (or all) of the analyzers
then connect via USB to a host PC.
The link cable functions to transmit clocking and control information between the
analyzers, thereby allowing the analyzers to function as a cascade - i.e., a single, logical
analyzer. Cascading analyzers allows them to perform synchronized, multi-analyzer
recordings.
Connected Remotely over an IP Network - A PC connected to analyzers across an IP
network.
