Supported Hardware

OmniEngine Enterprise

Ethernet

OmniEngine Enterprise will run with any NDIS 3 or higher compatible Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit promiscuous mode network adapter. Promiscuous mode is the ability to have OmniEngine Enterprise take over the driver and put it into a mode that will allow it to passively capture all packets on an Ethernet wire, regardless of the address to which they are being sent/received.

For example, we are compatible with adapters from 3Com, Intel, Xircom, SMC, and many others.

Full-Duplex Gigabit

The OmniAdapter is a PCI-E card that supports up to 2 full-duplex or 4 half-duplex connections. Taking advantage of a PCI-E , the OmniAdapter provides high-performance connectivity for monitoring and troubleshooting Gigabit networks. OmniAdapter can be configured during manufacturing to support multiple configurations of SX, LX, ZX or copper (Ethernet).

OmniAdapter is available in 3 different configurations:

• 4 ports of SFP cages
• 4 ports of RJ45 Ethernet
• 2 RJ45 Ethernet and 2 SFP cages

10 Gigabit:

WildPackets’ OmniAdapter 10G is a high performance, full-duplex 10 Gigabit Network Analyzer Card with 2x10 Gbit/s optical interfaces that has been optimized for monitoring and troubleshooting traffic on 10 Gigabit Ethernet network. The two-port, OmniAdapter 10G provides hardware accelerated packet tracing and dynamically configurable filtering together with high precision timestamping. The network adapter is based on the industry standard PCI-E interface and available with 1x850nm MFF XFP or; 1x1310nm SMF XFP optical transceivers with LC connectors.

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.

Wireless

For wireless packet capture, OmniEngine requires the installation of a special driver corresponding to the supported wireless network adapter. WildPackets has tested Marvell-based, Atheros-based and Intel Centrino 3945-based cards for wireless capture. Other wireless cards may work with this version to the same degree that they worked in prior versions; however, these cards are not recommended. OmniEngine Enterprise Wireless Drivers Page.
