LTEPA installation instructions:
Download link
http://mobility.web.alcatel-lucent.com/~ltetool/ltepa/LtepaInstall.htm
Windows7/ XP:
Download the Windows installer for desired Ltepa package from tools
download page and run it on your system, follow all instruction.
If you plan on capturing live network traffic with ltepa, you will need to also
have WinPcap installed on your system. Without WinPcap, you will only be
able to open saved captured files. To install WinPcap, download the WinPcap
installer and run it. WinPcap_3_0.exe
