Network TAP (Test Access Point) Compatibility
We have tested a TAP (NuTAP) kindly provided by Xtramus and herewith certify its complete compatibility with our products. TAPs are truly passive devices that have full access to all packets of full-duplex traffic (including errors from physical layers) in line and in real time. They cause no data stream interference, and the monitoring computer can be completely isolated from the outside. For a thorough discussion of the TAP advantages over SPAN and hubs, please see http://www.lovemytool.com/blog/2007/08/span-ports-or-t.html.
For more information about NuTAP, please directly contact sales@xtramus.com or us.
2/1/2008 Version 2.63 redesigns the data
structure to improve the searchability. As a result
of the changes, the previously-captured data should be imported using a data
update program when one upgrades the products. Here is the procedure for the
update:
(1) Download the newer version of TupSight/TupEnterprise from www.tupsoft.com.
(2) Uninstall the existing TupSight/TupEnterprise programs (the server and the console) retaining the data folders and files.
(3) Restart the computer.
(4) Install the newer programs. If they are installed in the same directory as before, a data update program will auto-run.
(5) Single-click the “Start” button for Ver. 2.3-2.4 OR Ver. 2.5-2.6 accordingly; For the data update of Versions 2.3-2.4, one needs to single-click the “Start” button again for Ver. 2.5-2.6, after the import is finished from Ver. 2.0-2.4 into Ver. 2.5-2.6.
(6) Run the console, and click the “About” button from the main menu to see whether one needs to re-input the serial number.
(7) After the registration, check whether all the settings are correct.
(8) To upgrade the Agent program of TupEnterprise, click the “Host” button from the main menu and then the “Upgrade Agent,” select the upgrade file from the table, and single-click the “Start” button.
1/15/2008 Version 2.62 upgrades the AIM,
Skype, and ICQ capture of TupEnterprise to their
newest versions.
5/5/2007 Version 2.41-42 extends the
operation spectrum by adding “Bridge Mode” and “Promiscuous Mode”
Though without the total controllability as in the Gateway mode, the newly-added two modes offer our users more operation freedom to adapt to the actual local area networks (LANs) and meet the task requirements without changing much of the existent networking structure.
A)
The Bridge Mode
This mode is also called “a
machine-in–the-middle.” There is a bridging capability called the “Network
Bridge” built into Windows XP and Server 2003. This is a feature of the Network
Connections folder that allows a machine with two network interface cards
(NICs) to act as a transparent bridge, connecting different local area network
(LAN) segments and capturing all the traffic to and from one segment.
Procedure for the Bridge Mode
Step 1. Plan ahead and create
a network bridge before the software installation (If you have installed
the program, uninstall it first.)
After the NICs
are installed and connected, open Control Panel, and click Network
and Internet Connections and then Network Connections.
Next click
both the network connections (using the Ctrl key), right-click one, and then
click Bridge Connections.
After the
completion of bridge configuration, the Network Connections window will look
like the following one.
For more
references and troubleshooting,
see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/crawford_02april22.mspx.
Step
2. Install the software and
set up the capturing NIC.
Go to Operation
View, click Config, and you will see a
window that looks like the one below.
There are
three NICs shown in the table: One is the virtual NIC created as a result of
bridging; and the other two are real NICs. If you are not sure which one is the
external NIC capturing the traffic, you can try one by one by double-clicking
them until there are data shown in Real-Time Log.
If you want to
switch the operation from the Bridge mode to another one, the bridge connection
must be deleted before enabling the changes.
B)
The Promiscuous Mode (with Hub or
Mirroring Port)
For details,
see the TupInsight part of our FAQ page at http://www.tupsoft.com/faq.htm.
