    Hi Owen, I believe it was version 4.2 of Sniffer Distributed that included the ability to hyper terminal onto the unit to change the IP address information. Due to this feature there is a COM port clash when using a matrix switch. To use any matrix switch, you need to disable the...

    DSS 4.1 and SnifferBook

    Hi, For you reference the latest version of Sniffer Distributed is v4.3, and for Sniffer Portables v4.7.5. The reason I mention this is, that it may be required to upgrade the firmware of the Sniffer Book, for compatablity and eliability issues. Information on this is found in the Install...

    Is there a SIP protocol interpreter for sniffer?

    Hi, As SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), is a signaling protocol for Internet conferencing, telephony, presence, events notification and instant messaging (as no doubt you are aware), this isn't supported in the normal Sniffer LAN products.

    What Wireless Card would you suggest?

    Hi, If you haven'r already bought Sniffer Wireless, it's well worth taking a look at &quot;AirMagnet&quot; (www.airmagnet.com). They make a far more comprehensively featured set of wireless analysers, which are far more cost effective. Not only do they have the same monitoring functions, but...
