Leave the Visual TruView server running at all times to ensure timely
collection of data from TruView Packet Appliances (TVPs), Analysis
Service Elements (ASEs), TruView Flow Appliances (TVFs), and other
devices to ensure continuous availability of data to all clients.
System Recovery
If it is necessary to reinstall the Visual TruView application on the
server, you can use the system recovery DVD that came with the server.
All data will be lost during this process. Back up your Visual TruView
databases and configuration to your network storage before you
begin. Refer to the TAC Knowledge Base for information on how to
back up TruView databases. You will also need to reestablish the
Microsoft Windows and Visual TruView workstation licenses. Call
Fluke Networks Technical Support for more information.
Configuring the Remote Management Card
(Optional But Highly Recommended)
The remote management card is pre-installed on the Visual TruView
server. This card provides continuous access to the server, enabling
you to remotely monitor, troubleshoot, and repair it even when it is
down. In addition, you can receive immediate notification of problems
or failures from SNMP traps. For more information about the remote
management card, see the documentation included with the server.
You can configure the remote management card from a laptop or from
a keyboard and monitor connected to the Visual TruView server.
Connect the Remote Management Card
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the remote management port (wrench
icon) to the LAN.
Laptop PC Setup
Use an Ethernet cable to connect a laptop to the remote
1
management port (wrench icon).
The laptop's IP address must be in the same subnet
(192.168.0.0) as the default IP address of the remote
management card. Use 192.168.0.99.
