Redirecting Probes
When using Observer with a Probe you can redirect a Probe from one Observer console to
another, or from another to the local Observer console. To display the redirection dialog,
from the main Observer menu select Actions > Redirect Probe.
Once you connect to the selected Probe, you can choose to redirect the local Probe or to
another Observer station.
Probe redirection can be password protected. The password is set on the Probe, from the
Options > Probe Options dialog.
The redirection password is case-sensitive; moxie, Moxie, and MOXIE would
all be different passwords.
Notifying a Probe User
Observer provides a chat utility that allows the network administrator to communicate in
real time with Probe PC users. Selecting Actions-> Notify Probe user will open a chat
window on the Probe PC.
This utility is useful if you want to warn a non-dedicated Probe system user that you are
going to do something (e.g. Packet Capture) that is processor-intensive.
Adding/Configuring an RMON Probe
RMON Console Configuration Options
RMON configuration information is kept in the RMON Probe Configuration dialog. This
can be accessed by either right-clicking on the RMON Probe (once you have connected to
it) or by selecting
Options > Selected Probe or SNMP Device Properties.
