Getting Started with SNAP

Tutorial on configuring SNAP to work with 1 TAP-input and 1 TAP-output

Getting Started

Over this segment we will be:

• Choosing an input protocol and method

• Choosing an output protocol and method

• Choosing a modifier

• Testing your configuration

We will be working from the SNAP “Toolbox” Located on the Left Side of the Configuration Screen.

Note: Sometimes when you choose a Block you may find that it is Not shown within the Viewing Area of the Screen. The Blocks might be Just Out of the Viewing Area or you just can’t find them, but you know they are there... Using the Scroll Bars will Help you Locate them and Place them where needed. Generally I’ve Noticed that they are found right behind the Toolbox Area.

Setting up the input protocol

Click on the “Input Protocols” Text and choose from the List of Inputs the Protocol you want to use for the Application. In this Example TAP Protocol is Chosen as the Input of which the Host System will be using.

Choose from the List of Inputs the Protocol you want to use for the Application. In this Example, TAP Protocol is Chosen as the Input of which the Host System will be using.

Then Configure the Parameters for the Serial Connection. This Example is using USB1 for the Port Number of the SNAP with 9600 8 N 1 and No Flow Control (None).

At this Stage of the Example Configuration, we have the TAP Input Protocol using the Serial Connection as the Method of Communications to the SNAP.

Setting up the output protocol

Click on the “Output Protocols” Text and choose from the List of Outputs the Protocol you want to use for the Application. In this Example, TAP Protocol is Chosen as the Output that the SNAP will be Sending.

Next you would Click on the “Output Methods” Text and choose the Type of Connection you wish to use for Communicating coming from the SNAP. This Example is working with “Ethernet Output” as our Choice of Outbound Communications.

Then Configure the Parameters for the Ethernet Connection. This Example is using the IP Address of 192.192.192.002 and the IP Port Number of 3101.

At this Stage of the Example Configuration we have the TAP Output Protocol using the Ethernet Connection as the Method of Communications from the SNAP.

When you have Completed the Configuration, the Finished Product looks like the Screen Shot Below.

This offers you a Complete Overview of Exactly How the SNAP will be Configured and shows both the Input and Output Protocols Blocks as well as How each Component will be Connected. Plus this offers How that Connection Block is Configured as well.
