possible to use the same probe to monitor different types of links as
needed. For example, you can easily convert the capture card from
optical to copper, allowing you to connect the GigaStor to different
test access points (TAPs) or switch port analyzer (SPAN) or mirror
interfaces.
If your GigaStor is configured to monitor WAN (such as E1, T1, E3,
DS3, or HSSI) connections, your GigaStor has a specialized WAN
capture card. It does not have SFP or XFP connectors.
The GigaStor can be used with the Expert Observer console or
Observer Suite to troubleshoot your network. Alternatively, you can
run the probe in “local console” mode, allowing you to analyze
GigaStor-collected data locally.The local console on the GigaStor is
Observer Expert. However, we recommend that you use Observer on
a remote system to analyze the data.
