System requirements

A typical standalone network configuration requires:

• A two-node network between a non-networked PC and the Ethernet TAP probe.
• A networked PC with a second Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) connected to the Ethernet TAP probe; figure below shows the standalone configuration.

• A PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98/2000/NT/XP operating system installed on it.
• Special crossover cables (P/N 600-11111) for setting up stand-alone PC Ethernet communications. Do not use the straight-wired RJ-45 cable (P/N 600-11112).
