Connecting the Probe
LanProbe communicates with Agilent NetMetrix either through the In-Band
network connection or by using an Out-of-Band serial connection. You can
establish both In-Band and Out-of-Band connections to give you the option of
communicating with the probe either over the network or over the serial link,
respectively.

respectively.
The In-Band connection adds a slight amount of traffic to the network, but is
faster than the Out-of-Band connection. The disadvantage of using only the
In-Band connection is that certain network or component failures can result in loss
of communication with LanProbe.

The Out-of-Band serial connection can be used as the primary means of
communication or as a backup link in case of a network failure. The disadvantage
of using only the Out-of-Band connection is that it is a slower means of

Connecting to the Network (In-Band)
You can connect LanProbe to the network by connecting the 10Base-T (RJ-45)
port. Figure 3-13 on page 38 shows the rear panel of LanProbe.
