Quick Start

Introduction

The STX M6-1 InFusion is a portable single-port system
that can function as an error injector for
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) data transfers, as well as
Serial ATA (SATA) data transfers through STP data
transfers.

The InFusion™ Error Injector and Traffic Modifier is an
error injector and traffic modification tool that allows you to
verify real-world fault handling.

Please see the Readme file on the installation CD for the
latest information on PC requirements.

Before Starting

Use this document for quick installation and setup. If you
experience problems or need more information, see the
STX M6-1 User Manual on the Installation CD or at the LeCroy
web site. For details about the latest software version, see the
Readme file on the Installation CD.

The unit has a USB port and a GbE Ethernet port to
connect to a PC, which serves as the host for error injection
software. The versatile GbE port can be used for either
local or remote network connectivity.

STX M6-1 Protocol Analyzer and InFusion can be used in
tandem to combine simultaneous error injection and trace
capture/analysis capabilities (requires two STX M6-1 units,
one protocol analyzer model and one error injector model).
