Inline Mode allows users to non-intrusively monitor network traffic (10/100/1000BaseTX) to identify protocols, port usage, VoIP or email statistics, and network utilization.
The LANEXPERT can capture and store up to 10,000 packets with user-defined filters for detailed field analysis or download over the network or to a USB flash drive. Different IP and MAC addresses can be assigned to each of the two RJ-45 ports, allowing simultaneous testing or the designation of one port as the target for easy loopback testing. Tests, including Ping, Link, Trace Route, DHCP, and Discovery, are used to quickly identify network problems.
This analyzer can generate up to 100% of the traffic load with packet size and rate control to demonstrate network performance under different traffic types. It also provides a stress test that generates traffic and measures performance parameters in accordance with RFC 2544. Stress tests can be performed using the two independent ports on a single unit or with a second remote unit on a network. PoE power tests identify wire pairs and measure voltage and line current to determine the actual power consumed by a power device. The LANEXPERT also tests cables for shorts, open circuits, separated pairs, and reversed pairs, providing cable length measurements and generating tones for cable location.
With its advanced capabilities, the LANEXPERT is an essential tool for the installation, maintenance, improvement, repair, and optimization of complex and constantly evolving networks.
This comprehensive network analyzer enables users to provide robust, high-availability network service with a single test device. LAN installers, technicians, administrators, and service providers can now get help from network experts at an affordable price.
