SANA2Meter - Statistics monitor for SANA-II compliant network devices
(C) Copyright 1996 Marius Gröger
All Rights Reserved.
| NEWS!
|
| For users who don't have or dislike gtlayout.library the package includes
| now a version which has been statically linked with the gtlayout code and
| thus doesn't need the shared library. Penalty for this independence is an
| about four times larger executable size.
SANA2Meter is a simple tool that displays the network device statistics of
any SANA-II network device. The set of displayable values include static
parameters such as hardware type, MTU, speed in bits per second as well as
dynamic values such as number of sent and received packets and error
counters. In addition, SANA2Meter is able to display up to 20 device
special statistics using generic code for the inquiry. For more experienced
users and network administrators the packet type tracking function may come
in handy. By means of this feature the user can keep track of one or more
particular packet types. Last but not least, on highly networked systems
such as gateways or bridges or servers the system administrator might like
SANA2Meter's ability to display statistics of any number of network
interfaces simultaneously. All dynamic statistics are updated periodically.
The program can be called from both CLI and Workbench. A great lot of
values, including the set of displayed statistics, refresh time, window
position, public screen, and font can easily be customized by CLI
arguments, tooltypes, and menu selection. The current setting may be saved
to the tooltype list from the GUI or to a ASCII configuration file.
SANA2Meter can be used with any SANA-II compliant network device including
popular SLIP or PPP devices used to connect to an internet provider
service.
You should install this software package by using the supplied Installer
script. Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide document to obtain further
information about installation and usage. If you have any suggestions,
comments, or complaints please contact me:

correctly
* Special statistics and baud rate A2065 device caused problems
(Enforcer Hit)
* Fixed memory trashing when dealing with more than one special
statistics
* ToolType saving code improved
Release 37.9

Release 37.6
* Multiple network devices may be monitored simultaneously
* An optional configuration file keeps permanent settings also
for CLI usage
* Bugfix: Some ancient code would only display 10 special statistics
