Protocol Analyzer
Working with Configuration Files
5967–9446 401
You can load settings from a file previously saved with File➤Save Filter/
Settings… This action affects capture buffer settings and interface, as
well as the current filter.
You can also specify the settings file to use when starting Protocol Ana-
lyzer by giving the protanal -setting
filename
command.
See Also “To save filter/settings in a file” on page 400.
Settings menu items: pages 356 – 358.
Filter menu items: pages 360 – 379.
To load the default filter/settings
● Choose File➤Load Defaults from the base window to
restore the default settings.
When you choose File➤Load Defaults, Protocol Analyzer looks in the
NetMetrix search path for a file called protanal.default. The search
path is the current directory, the environment variable NETM_DIR,
program_path/../config, and /usr/netm/config.
If protanal.default is not found, the application’s built-in defaults
are used.
When you load default settings, all of the items configured with the
Filter and Settings menus are cleared and replaced with the default set-
tings. These items include capture buffer settings and interface, as well
as the current filter.
Caution
When you load a filter/settings file, any settings you have configured
with items on the Filter and Settings menus are discarded; they are
replaced with the ones stored in the file.
To keep a configuration, be sure to save it before you load a settings/filter
file. Refer to page 400 for instructions.
