1.0 PREFACE

Introduction The installation of the Endace DAG 3.6GE card on a PC begins with

installing the operating system and the Endace software. This is followed

by fitting the card and connecting the ports.

Viewing this

document This document, DAG 4.2GE Card User Manual is available on the

installation CD.

In this chapter This chapter covers the following sections of information.

•User Manual Purpose

•DAG 3.6GE Card Product Description

•DAG 3.6GE Card Architecture

•DAG 3.6GE Card Extended Functions

•DAG 3.6GE Card System Requirements

1.1 User Manual Purpose

Description The purpose of this DAG 3.6GE Card User Manual is to identify and

describe:

•Installing DAG 3.6GE Card

•Confidence Testing

•Running Data Capture Software

•Synchronizing Clock Time

•Data Formats Overview

Pre-requisite This document presumes the DAG card is being installed in a PC already

configured with an operating system.

A copy of the Debian Linux 3.1 (Sarge) is available as a bootable ISO

image on one of the CD's shipped with the DAG card.

To install on the Linux/FreeBSD operating system, follow the instructions

in the document EDM04.05-01r1 Linux FreeBSD Installation Manual,

packaged in the CD shipped with the DAG card.

To install on a Windows operating system, follow the instructions in the

document EDM04.05-02r1 Windows Installation Manual, packaged in the

CD shipped with the DAG card.

1.2 DAG 3.6GE Card Product Description

The DAG Ethernet port will operate in half duplex or full duplex modes.

The DAG 3.6GE card by default finds the fastest link configuration

possible with the peer device using Ethernet Autonegotiation.

Figure Figure 1-1 shows the DAG 3.6GE series PCI card.

Figure 1-1. DAG 3.6GE series PCI Card.

1.3 DAG 3.6GE Card Architecture

Description The DAG 3.6GE PCI-bus card is designed for cell and packet capture and

generation on IP networks.

Serial Ethernet data is received by the interface, and fed through a framer

into the first of the two Xilinx FPGAs.

This FPGA contains an Ethernet processor and the DUCK timestamp

engine.

Because of component close association, packets or cells are time-stamped

accurately. Time stamped packet records are stored in the second FPGA,

which interfaces to the PCI bus. All packet records are written to host PC

memory during capture operations.

flow.

DAG card as a

NIC card The DAG 3.6GE card has a single 10/100/1000 Mbps Copper Ethernet

port. This is configured as if the DAG was a NIC, and can be connected to

a hub, switch or router port directly.

The DAG 3.6GE can also be connected to a NIC card using an Ethernet

cross-over cable. The DAG captures all packets received on this port,

similar to a NIC in promiscuous mode.

1.4 DAG 3.6GE Card Extended Functions

Description The DAG 3.6GE functionality can be extended in many ways.

Contact the Endace customer support team at [email protected] to

enable effective use of extended functions.

1.5 DAG 3.6GE Card System Requirements

Description The DAG 3.6GE and associated data capture system minimum operating

requirements are:

•PC, at least Pentium II 400 MHz, Intel 440BX, GX or newer chip

set

•256 MB RAM

•At least one free PCI free slot with 3.3V and 5V power

•Software distribution free space of 30MB

Operating

system For convenience, the Debian 3.1 [Sarge] Linux system is included on the

Endace Software Install CD. Endace currently supports Windows XP,

Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, FreeBSD, RHEL 3.0, and

Debian Linux operating systems.

Different

system For advice on using a system substantially different from that specified

above, contact Endace support at [email protected]

2.0 INSTALLING DAG 3.6GE CARD

Introduction The DAG 3.6GE card can be installed in any free Bus Mastering PCI slot.

Although the driver supports up to four DAG cards by default in one

system, due to bandwidth limitations there should not be more than one

card on a single PCI-bus.

The cards make very heavy use of PCI-bus data transfer resources. This is

not usually a limitation as for most applications a maximum of two cards

only can be used with reasonable application performance.

In this chapter This chapter covers the following sections of information.

•Insert DAG 3.6GE Card into PC

•Connect DAG 3.6GE Card Ports

•DAG 3.6GE Card Sensitivity

2.1 Insert DAG 3.6GE Card into PC

Description Inserting the DAG 3.6GE card into a PC involves accessing the bus slot,

fitting the card, and replacing the bus slot screw.

Procedure Follow these steps to insert the DAG 3.6GE card into a PC.

Step 1. Access bus Slot

Power computer down.

Remove PCI-bus slot cover.

Step 2. Fit Card

Insert into PCI-X bus slot.

Step 3. Replace bus Slot Screw

Secure card with screw.

Step 4. Power up Computer
