Net-Control is a DOS program. It is a tool to keep track of the traffic
in Ethernet LANs.
- Net-Control gives an overview of the actual behavior of the network.
- It allows to recognize problems early.
- It stores data to allow analysis after a network-crash.
- It makes you aware of ongoing changes, even if they are small.
- It stores and presents daily station- and group-statistics.
- It helps to identify "unknown stations" on the network.
- Bigger LANs can be completely monitored by distributed equipment.
- Net-Control allows remote maintenance and diagnostic.
Requirements:
- IBM compatible (286 or higher) system with at least 500 kb free
memory and harddisk with at least 1.5 MB free space (demo: 2.3 MB).
- RS232 or parallel interface connected to an Ethernet Box from RzK
or
an ethernet board with packet driver interface,
≤Installation of Net-Control:≥
≤Box or Packet Driver:≥
Net-Control 4.1 differs from all earlier versions in one point. Now it
is possible to run Net-Control without an Ethernet Box. The Ethernet
Box normally is used as an ethernet statistic probe for Net-Control.
The Ethernet Box gathers all statistical data and measures load, errors
and collisions by hardware.
You have to choose before the installtion, if you want to install
Net-Control for an Ethernet Box or for using it with a PC network
card and a packet driver interface.
≤Installation as Demo:≥
If no Ethernet Box is connected to your PC and no ethernet card with
packet driver is present, you can use the special demo version of
Net-Control. This version contains a complete tutorial for Net-Control.
