Sierra M6‐4 SAS/SATA Protocol Analyzer User Manual

Connecting using a Hub, Switch, or Similar Device

When connected to the host machine using a hub, switch, Gigabit Ethernet interface, or
similar device, the Analyzer must communicate with the host computer to establish a
connection. The host computer continually broadcasts the next available IP address to
the Analyzer, until the software starts.

Connecting over Different Subnets

If the Host PC (with the Sierra software) and Sierra M6‐4 are on the same subnet, they
will see each other’s broadcasts, and the Sierra M6‐4 application will automatically
appear in the Select Device dialog, from which you can select a device (as described in
the previous section).

If the Host PC and Sierra M6‐4 do not reside on the same subnet, they will not see each
other automatically. You must add the Sierra M6‐4 IP address manually. To add the IP
address, use the Add Device button (see

Figure 1.16 on page 29
