Installing the OptiView Wireless Network Analyzer
Software
If the OptiView Wireless Network Analyzer icon does not appear on your
OptiView Series II Integrated Network Analyzer desktop, you will need to install
the software. There are three steps involved in the installation:
•Move the self-extracting software file onto the Analyzer's hard disk
•Install the software on the Analyzer
•Installing the Wireless LAN Adapter card
Note
The OptiView Wireless Network Analyzer software must be installed
BEFORE installing the 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Card.
Older OptiView Integrated Network Analyzers (running Win98) must
be running with OptiView software version 3.52 or greater. All
newer OptiView Series II Analyzers work with the OptiView Wireless
Network Analyzer application.
Moving the Software to Your OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer
There are three methods for moving the software file:
•Copy the file from your OptiView Wireless Network Analyzer CD to your
analyzer using an external USB CD-ROM drive
•Copy the file from your OptiView Wireless Network Analyzer CD to your
PC, and then transfer the file to the Analyzer using one of the methods
listed below:
•Use a direct point-to-point connection
•From the Analyzer, use Microsoft Networking to map a drive on the
PC, and copy the file to the Analyzer (analyzer and PC must be in
same subnet)
•Transfer the software file to the Analyzer Using the Analyzer’s
TFTP Server software
•Download the software file from the Fluke Networks Web Site directly to
the Analyzer
Once the software file is on your Analyzer, you will need to install it as described
in Installing the Software on the Analyzer.

Downloading the Software File From the Fluke Networks Web Site Directly to
the Analyzer
If your Analyzer is connected to a network that has Internet connectivity, perform
this procedure.
1. Connect the Analyzer to your network and correctly configure the IP
configuration. Refer to the Analyzer documentation for help if needed.
2. Start your web browser and point it at the following Fluke Networks web
page:
http://www.flukenetworks.com/us/LAN/Handheld+Testers/OptiView/_softw
are.htm
3. Select the OptiView Wireless Network Analyzer link to download the
software file to your Analyzer.
4. You are now ready to Install the Software on the Analyzer.
Transferring the Software from your PC to the Analyzer
You can transfer the software file from your PC to the Analyzer either by:
•Using a Point-to-Point Connection to transfer the software file
•Using the Analyzer’s TFTP Server application to transfer the software file
•Mapping a drive and copying the software file to the Analyzer
Configuring for a Point-to-Point Connection
If you are connecting the Analyzer directly to your PC's network interface card
(NIC) through an Ethernet connection, you will need to configure the Analyzer
and PC Network Properties.
If your PC is using a static address, you will need to configure the Analyzer to the
same subnet, and select an IP address (that is different than the PC IP address). To
do so, perform the following:
1. Go to your PC's Network Properties window and determine what the IP
address and subnet (mask) are set to.
2. Go to the Analyzer Setup | TCP/IP screen and set the Source and Mask
addresses. You do not need to set the router address. The Mask needs to be set
to the same subnet as the PC, and the Source address needs to be set to an
unused IP address.
Note
You should see link on the Analyzer once these settings are set.

OptiView
TM
Getting Started Guide

If your PC is configured for DHCP, it will "time out" after several minutes to the
Microsoft default address. Follow the procedures above to configure the Analyzer
to the same subnet, and different IP address.
Note
Some Ethernet card vendors' auto speed detection may conflict with
the Analyzer's auto speed detection. In this case, manually set the
Analyzer link speed to 10Mb half duplex in the Analyzer's Setup |
Ethernet screen. If this does not work, manually set the PC NIC to
10Mb half duplex.
Using the Analyzer’s TFTP Server Application to Transfer the Software from your
PC to the Analyzer
Note
If you are connecting the Analyzer directly to your PC via an
Ethernet connection, see the section Configuring for a Point-to-Point
Connection.
1. Make sure the PC and Analyzer have a valid IP configuration.
Note
Do not change the Analyzer IP configuration for the TCP/IP -> Intel
8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100). The IP must stay at
192.168.111.111 or the Analyzer will not work.
2. On the Windows desktop of your Analyzer, select Start | Programs | Start TFTP
Server. The TFTPD32 by Ph. Jounin server dialog is displayed as shown below:
apo02s.bmp

10. On the Analyzer, close the TFTP server dialog to terminate the TFTP
session.
11. You are now ready to Install the Software on the Analyzer.
Mapping a Drive and Transferring the Software File from your PC to the Analyzer
Microsoft Networking allows you to share a folder on your PC as a network drive
that you can then access across your local network from your Analyzer, thus
allowing you to copy the software file from your PC to the Analyzer.
Note
You may need to first go to the Network Properties on your Analyzer
(right-click on the Desktop Network Neighborhood and select
Properties), highlight Clients for Microsoft Networking and select
Properties, and setup Logon Validation for your network domain.
Then you will need to restart the Analyzer and log into your network
domain.
The file sharing procedure is slightly different for each Windows operating
system. Generally, you will need to perform the following procedure on your PC:
1. On your PC, determine the directory to be shared (default is C:\temp) that
contains the software file OPVWNA-V2.EXE. From Windows Explorer, set
the folder to be shared by right-clicking on the folder name and selecting
the Sharing tab. Select the Shared As: radio button and enter a Share
Name.
Note
You don’t actually have to copy the software file to the PC hard disk
before transferring it to the Analyzer. You can map the CD-ROM
drive and copy the file directly from the OptiView Wireless Network
Analyzer CD to the Analyzer.
2. Connect the Analyzer to the same local network as the PC.
3. On the Analyzer, open Windows Explorer.
4. Select Tools | Map Network Drive.
5. In the Path field, enter the IP address of the PC followed by the Share
Name (e.g. \\010.010.010.012\sharename .) Click OK when done.
6. Copy the file OPVWNA-V2.EXE from your PC to the Analyzer
(recommended is d:\temp.)
7. You are now ready to Install the Software on the Analyzer.

WNA Modes of Operation
Depending on what screen you are viewing, the OptiView Wireless Network
Analyzer operates in the following three different modes.
Active Channel Scan is the active and default state for the Front Page, Channels
and Survey screens.
In Active Channel Scan mode, the wireless radio card steps (sweeps) through all
channels (250 msec each channel) and then performs an active scan (sends out a
probe request from for Access Points to respond) at the end of sweep. To disable
the active phase option while scanning, navigate to the Setup | Options screen and
uncheck Enable Active Channel Scan.
Monitor mode is the active state for all Detail screens except the Top Talkers
screen. While in Monitor mode, the WLAN card is parked on a channel and
reporting key packet and WLAN statistics. This includes packet type and
destination, retries, utilization and signal strength. An inventory of WLAN devices
and details about their configuration (passively discovered) is also provided.
Linked mode is the active state for all the Tools screens, and the part-time state
on the Front Page screen. When a Tools screen is selected, you will be asked to
link (or connect) to an Access Point (SSID). When you leave any of the Tools
screens, the link with the SSID will be disabled. On the Front Page screen,
periodically, link will be re-established for about 15 seconds with the default and
configured SSID, and then it resumes Active Channel Scan. To enable active
discovery of WLAN devices, select the default SSID for autolink from the list and
then select the Default SSID button. The configured default SSID will be
indicated by an * next to the SSID name. Green text indicates the SSID is the
active default SSID. You may also select a default SSID from the Detail |
Authorization screen. Highlight an SSID and select the Default SSID button.
Note
The default SSID is set up by going to a Tools screen and selecting
the Link to… button. Select an SSID and select Edit Security… Enter
any security settings such as WEP or WPA/RADIUS settings and
press OK. Then select the Link button to link with it.
