TITLE IBM DATAGLANCE NETWORK ANALYZER FOR ETHERNET AND TOKEN-RING/2
PROGRAMS VERSION 1.2
ABSTRACT The DatagLANce (TM) Network Analyzer is a powerful network
analyzer and problem determination tool for Ethernet and token-ring
networks that provides the ability for network managers and support
personnel to monitor, debug, and tune their networks. The Network
Analyzer displays real-time statistics about the network and provides
frame capture, seven-layer protocol decode functions, and traffic
generation.
An OS/2 (R) graphical user interface presents information,
complete with online help and references, that is advantageous in
debugging networking software, fine-tuning networks for capacity and
network reconfiguration planning, and trouble-shooting
inter-networking protocols.
DatagLANce software has a graphical end-user interface
compliant with Common User Access (TM) architecture and conforms to
SystemView (R) Integration Level One.
New functions for DatagLANce Network Analyzer Version 1.2:
o Network loading and transmission
o Network layer address pairs filter support
o New protocol decode support
o Enhanced traffic analysis functions
o Enhanced alarm options
The DatagLANce Network Analyzer requires either a DatagLANce
Token-Ring Adapter card or one of the other adapters listed in the
hardware section of machine requirements to be installed on the PC
system where the software resides.
Refer to Hardware Announcement 193-337, dated
October 28, 1993.

OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION
The DatagLANce Network Analyzer provides monitoring, trouble
shooting, and network traffic generation capabilities that allow
network fine-tuning for maximum LAN usage.
GROWTH ENABLEMENT:
o Increased capacity and performance improvement
The DatagLANce Network Analyzer for Ethernet and
Token-Ring provides analysis capability for observing network
load, bandwidth utilization, and network protocols. These
abilities allow the network to be tuned for maximum performance
and invalid data to be traced and corrected.
o Connectivity improvements
DatagLANce's ability to determine errors through
monitoring, analysis, decoding, and traffic generation
capabilities allows better connectivity and uptime, which enable
business growth.
SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT:
o Improved systems availability
DatagLANce's ability to provide information for quick
problem debugging and optimum tuning of the network may improve
systems availability.
o IS operations productivity
IS productivity is achieved through easy-to-use error
detection and fine-tuning.
PRODUCT POSITIONING
DatagLANce Network Analyzer, RMONitor for AIX (R), and RMONitor Agent
for OS/2 are complementary products. The combined IBM offering,
DatagLANce and RMONitor, provides a total solution for monitoring and
debugging networks.
The DatagLANce analyzer is used by technical LAN support
staffs to troubleshoot problems on a LAN segment when the problem
occurs; that is, debug networks using extensive protocol decode and
traffic filtering capabilities and alarm thresholding, traffic
analysis, and network statistics.
RMONitor products are used by network operations staffs to
gather information from multiple LAN segments to identify potential
problem areas, for example, to monitor networks and consolidate
information at a central or distributed central location.
The combined IBM offering allows us to compete more
effectively with vendors who offer similar solutions such as
LANPROBE** (RMON agent), Network Advisor**, and the ProTools Network
Analysis** Series products.
The DatagLANce analyzer replaces the Trace and Performance
product.

SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL
The DatagLANce Network Analyzer software uses the security and
auditability features of its host PC system.
The DatagLANce Network Analyzer provides security, control,
and flexibility with a key lock. The software is configured to run
only with the key lock plugged into the PC's parallel port. When not
in use, the key lock should be secured to prevent execution of
DatagLANce software. Multiple copies of the software can be made but
only one copy can be executed at a time, and it must be on a machine
with the key lock installed.
Customers are responsible for evaluation, selection, and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures, and
appropriate controls in application systems and communication
facilities.
