Read on to understand the full range!

The Agilent Network Analyzer family represents a new generation of analyzer designed to meet the challenge of troubleshooting modern IP-centric and switched networks, building on the award-winning user interface and expert protocol analysis of the Agilent Advisor range.

Extremely powerful acquisition hardware provides real-time extraction and re-assembly of packet-based data from within WAN and ATM. And auto-detection of more than 30 IP encapsulation methods allows expert higher layer protocol analysis of captured data, in real-time.

A comprehensive range of exchangeable network interface modules, expert analysis of over 300 protocols, and a choice of portable, distributed and software versions - the Agilent Network Analyzer is the troubleshooting tool of choice for modern technologies, including IP telephony, IP QoS, streaming applications and mobile telephony applications.

The portable Network Analyzer handles 2 "hot-swappable" Line Interface Modules (LIM's) for time-correlated measurements and analysis over a wide range of network interfaces. J6801A and J6802A Distributed Network Analyzer modules use the same interchangeable LIM's for for remote and distributed analysis of critical networks.

And a software-only version runs on a standard Windows PC to provide exactly the same expert analysis for smaller LAN's - or to control multiple Distributed Network Analyzer modules.

Network Analyzer - Software

J6840A Network Analyzer Software Edition.

J6840A Network Analyzer Software runs under Windows or NT on standard PC's and provides the same expert analysis and user interface as the hardware-based Network Analysers using the PC's standard network interface cards as measurement interfaces for LAN (10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet and Token Ring). For example, the 10/100 PC Cards (PCMCIA cards) found in most PC laptops can be used as the test interface for monitoring the LAN network traffic, even while this card is simultaneously providing the network connection for the PC to that LAN.

Network Analyzer Software is remarkably flexible.
  • It provides the consistent base software for controlling hardware-based portable analysers such as the J6800A Network Analyzer, hardware-based distributed analysers such as the J6801A Distributed Network Analyzer, and the distributed Network Analyzer Software Agent J6835A. The software is pre-loaded and automatically enabled on the J6800A. A CD and one license key is supplied with the J6801A to allow the software to be loaded and enabled on a PC.
     
  • It runs in PCs (and the J6800A) as a software analyzer, using off-the-shelf network interface cards (NICs) as measurement interfaces for LAN (10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet and Token Ring). For example, the 10/100 PC Cards (PCMCIA cards) found in most PC laptops can be used as the test interface for monitoring the LAN network traffic, even while this card is simultaneously providing the network connection for the PC to that LAN.
     
  • It provides off-line analysis allowing previously captured and saved LAN and WAN/ATM data to be re-analyzed using the full features available on-line for captured data.

Network Analyzer Software is pre-loaded and runs on the embedded PC in the J6800A Network Analyzer. It is also shipped on CD media with the J6801A Distributed Network Analyzer, together with a single-use license key to enable the software on a PC/laptop. License keys plus manuals and CD media for running the software on additional PCs can be purchased as the J6840A product. For example, a second engineer can control an existing Distributed Network Analyzer from his/her PC, with the purchase and installation of the J6841A software product. The engineer can also use the additional components of the software, Network Analyzer SW Edition to perform LAN testing with a NIC, and Off-line Analysis for LAN and WAN/ATM processing. Of course the capabilities of the proprietary acquisition systems out-perform standard NIC performance, but SW Edition provides the same useful, extensive measurements.
