Frontline Test Equipment is pleased to announce the release of a compact, portable, aggregating Ethernet network tap that interfaces to the PC via USB. This new device, the Ethernet ComProbe, is non-intrusive, passive and captures bi-directional Ethernet data. The Ethernet ComProbe is compatible with NetDecoder™ and Ethertest™ software protocol analyzers. The Ethernet ComProbe is also compatible with the free, open-source Wireshark protocol analyzer.
Benefits
The tap captures and aggregates bi-directional Ethernet data. The captured data is sent to the analysis PC via a single USB port.
The tap is transparent and non-intrusive. The analysis PC does not show up as a node on the network.
The tap captures bad (or broken) Ethernet frames. Regular NIC cards discard such frames.
There is no need for an external power supply. The tap uses USB power during data capture.
Network connection is guaranteed even without USB port connection.
The tap enables data capture without the need for expensive managed switches.
There is no need to make complicated configuration changes in managed switches to capture data.
Includes Hardware Capture filters
Compatible with free, open source Wireshark protocol analyzer
