Gigabit Analyzer Card (GAC)

The GAC is a PCI-X card that supports up to 2 full-duplex or 4 half-duplex connections. Taking advantage of a PCI-X bus that clocks up to 133 MHz, the GAC provides high-performance connectivity for monitoring and troubleshooting Gigabit networks.

GAC can be figured during manufacturing to support multiple configurations of SX, LX, ZX or copper (Ethernet).

GAC is available in 4 different configurations:

XL-4: Consists of 4 ports SFP cages
XL-4T: Consists of 4 ports of RJ45 Ethernet
XL-2+2T: Consists of 2 RJ45 Ethernet and 2 SFP cages
DAG4.5G4: available with 1000Base-SX or 1000Base-LX Optical Ethernet or 1000Base-T Ethernet using modular transceivers

Fine-Tuned for Gigabit Analysis

OmniEngine Enterprise has been fine-tuned to facilitate processing of Gigabit traffic loads while performing real-time troubleshooting. Adjustable settings in the Performance View allow network engineers to select optimized performance for the type of analysis required, whether performing real-time analysis, monitoring statistics, or saving all packets to disk for post-capture forensic analysis.

OmniEngine Enterprise can capture concurrently from multiple GACs, enabling engineers to analyze Gigabit traffic on different segments simultaneously. For instance, engineers can use OmniEngine Enterprise to analyze traffic on both sides of a router to track packet flows.

Only OmniEngine Enterprise combines:

  • Real-time troubleshooting with WildPackets’ award-winning Network Expert technology
  • Support for Ethernet and Gigabit copper and fiber
  • High performance full-duplex analysis via in-line or port mirror
  • A fully-integrated Gigabit Analyzer Card
