1. NuTAP-S61 Overview
1.1. General Description of NuTAP-S61
NuTAP-S61 is a portable network TAP device.
Embedded with 2 Network Ports and 2 Monitor Ports,
NuTAP-S61 can monitor and redirect any data
streams which flow through it. Moreover,
NuTAP-S61’s Console Port allows users to accesstest data and configure test variables while serving
as an optional power source for NuTAP-S61.
Network TAP is a hardware device which allows
monitoring data flows in a network environment
dynamically without any interference.
As mentioned above, NuTAP-S61 is embedded with
two Network Ports and is capable of monitoring all data flows between two network points. All data traffic
flows between NuTAP-S61’s Network Port A0 and A1 can be brought out for further analysis and research
dynamically and without intervening network environment.
NuTAP-S61 is a compact, lightweight, and highly cost-effective device that provides 3 different filters forusers to choose: Forwarding Filter, Re-Direct Filter, and Capture Criteria. All these filters are powered by
Xtramus SDFR (Self-Discover Filtering Rules), which makes packet capturing/filtering over Ethernet easy
and convenient.

USC Counter
When monitoring data flows in a network environment with Network TAP devices, it is common to use
packet analyzers (or sniffers) for capturing and analyzing packet frames. However, information acquired
this way may be too vast and complicated for pinpointing the possible cause of network/productproblems.
Unlike these common packet analyzers or sniffers mentioned above, Universal Stream Counter (USC)
offers real-time statistics of network events during packet monitoring and capturing.
Each of NuTAP-S61’s Network Port contains two sets of Universal Stream Counters (USC 0/1), andstatistics about Line Rate, Packets, Bytes, Broadcast, Multi-cast, IP Check sum Error, and CRC

Command Descriptions – counter
The counter show command allows you to view all NuTAP-S61’s counter report, as
well as hardware temperature. You can also add additional commands behind thecounter show command as listed down below:
The counter show usc [a0 | a1] [group=0 | group=1] command allows you
to view NuTAP-S61’s USC (Universal Stream Counter) report of its Network
show
Port (A0/A1) and the USC group. For example, to view the USC in USC
usc group 0 for Network Port A0, please input the command “counter show usc
a0 group=0”.
The counter show configure command allows you to view
configure
USC’s settings.
The counter clear command allows you to clear all counters.

For example, to set the USC in source IP address of USC group 0 for
setuscNetwork Port A0 to 192.168.1.1, please input the command “countersetusc a0 group=0 baseaddress sip 192.168.001.001”.
The setusc [a0 | a1] [group=0 | group=1] mode [normal | jitter]command allows to change the mode for NuTAP-S61’s certain
Network Port (A0/A1) and the USC group. There are two modes
available here:mode• Normal: The USC will run• Jitter: The USC will run under
under normal mode.
jitter mode.
For example, to set the mode of USC group 0 for Network Port A0 tonormal, please input the command “counter setusc a0 group=0
mode normal”.
The setusc [a0 | a1] [group=0 | group=1] [enable | disable]command allows you to enable/disable NuTAP-S61’s certain Network
enable/disable Port (A0/A1) and the USC group. For example, to enable USC group
0 for Network Port A0, please input the command “counter setusc a0group=0 enable”.

1. Installing/Uninstalling NuSet-MiniTAP
NuSet-MiniTAP is a GUI (graphic user interface) utility software for setting test criteria and systemmanagement. NuSet-MiniTAP supports NuTAP-S61 and NuTAP-311. When NuTAP-S61/NuTAP-311 isconnected with PC via its RJ45-to-USB cable, you can set test criteria, save/view testing results, andupgrade firmware/FPGA with NuSet-MiniTAP.
However, before using NuSet-MiniTAP’s features and functions, you have to install it on your PC first.
Both NuTAP-S61 and NuTAP-311’s drivers are contained in NuSet-MiniTAP. The required drivers and
NuSet-MiniTAP will be installed at the same time. Please note that DO NOT connect your
NuTAP-S61/NuTAP-311 to the PC before the installation.
Please follow the steps down below to install NuSet-MiniTAP.
NuSet-MiniTAP Installation

2.1. Starting NuSet-MiniTAP
Before starting NuSet-MiniTAP, please be sure that your NuTAP-S61 or NuTAP-311 is properly connected
to your PC. The figure down below is an example for connecting NuTAP-S61 to PC via an RJ45-to-USB
cable.

You can start NuSet-MiniTAP by:
