Supported Hardware

Three on-board Ethernet Network Interface Cards (NICs) are available on the Omnipliance as well as the following supported capture devices:

OmniAdapters

OmniAdapter 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 OmniAdapter provides high-performance connectivity for monitoring and troubleshooting Gigabit networks. OmniAdapters can be configured during manufacturing to support multiple configurations of SX, LX, ZX, TX or copper (Ethernet). It’s available with 4 ports SFP cages, 4 ports of RJ45 Ethernet, or 2 RJ45 Ethernet and 2 SFP cages.

OmniAdapters 10G

WildPackets’ OmniAdapter 10G is a high performance one-port adapter that has been optimized for monitoring and inspecting traffic on 10 Gigabit Ethernet network. OmniAdapter 10G is available in PCI-X or PCI-E with 1x850nm MFF XFP or; 1x1310nm SMF XFP optical transceivers with LC connectors.

Other Gigabit and 10G Capture and Analysis Cards

Intel® PRO/10GbE Cards

WildPackets also offers Intel Pro/10GbE adapter cards to capture 10 Gigabit traffic. The Intel Pro/10GbE cards are an excellent, cost-effective solution for those who want to connect to SPAN or mirror ports.

They are available in 3 different configurations:

Intel® PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter

A 64-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended (PCI-X) interface running up to 133 MHz with 10GbE-over-copper connection.

• CX4 copper cable support through CX4 XPAK module - Allows 10GbE connectivity over CX4 copper cable lengths up to 15 m, depending on American Wire Gauge (AWG)
• 64-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended (PCI-X) interface running up to 133 MHz
• Built on Intel® lead-free1 technology for RoHS2 compliance - Compliant with the new European Union directive (effective July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials
• Intel® 82597EX 10GbE PCI-X 133-MHz, 64-bit media access control (MAC) controller
• Cost-effective, high-speed network connection with low latency

Intel® PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter

A 64-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended (PCI-X) interface running up to 133 MHz with 10 Gigabit Multi-mode Fiber Server Connection.

• Cost-effective 10 Gigabit performance on distances up to 300 m
• Highly integrated PCI-X second-generation silicon for high performance
• Smaller form factor with XPAK Optical Transceiver fits in standard server PCI slot
• Intel® 82597EX 10GbE PCI-X 133 MHz/64-bit MAC controller

Intel® PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter

A 64-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended (PCI-X) interface running up to 133 MHz with 10 Gigabit Single-mode Fiber Server Connection.

• Extends Ethernet distances up to 10 km
• Highly integrated PCI-X second-generation silicon for high performance
• Smaller form factor with XPAK Optical Transceiver fits in standard server PCI slot
• Intel® 82597EX 10GbE PCI-X 133 MHz/64-bit MAC controller

Full-Duplex WAN Analyzer Card (WAC) (Windows Configuration Only)

The WAN Analyzer Card (WAC) is designed to deliver line rate performance and I/O connectivity for mission critical troubleshooting on today's high-speed wide area networks. The WAC also provides "plug and play" capability which can automatically configure this adapter at startup.

WildPackets WAN technology combines a passive tap that is used to provide a non-intrusive interface to the network, a cable assembly that is used to connect this tap to the WAC adapter, and the adapter itself.

The WAC does not support ATM.
