| Starting LANScan |
Its easy to quickly gather network information. Install
LANScan and start it up - you'll get immediate real time network
information |
Starting LANScan Network Monitor |
| Network Bandwidth Usage |
LANScan reports bandwidth usage for your network
instantly, and over 5 Minute, 1 Hour and 8 Hour intervals. Our Summary
View shows bandwidth usage, top hosts and the top protocols in use. |
LANScan Network Summary |
| Traffic Trends |
LANScan monitors all network traffic and builds a real
time database of usage. Trends report this activity over time - giving
you a visual indication of usage patterns. |
LANScan Traffic Trends |
| Conversations |
Conversations are communications between two network
devices. For the network view in LANScan, the device transmitting data
is reported. LANScans' Conversation view quickly identifies all nodes on
your network that are transmitting data. |
LANScan Network Conversations |
| Protocols |
Traffic levels are important measures of network
performance, but its also important to know what the traffic is.
Protocols identify the type of applications running on your network. |
LANScan Network Protocols |
| Graphical Layout |
Organize your network devices to match their physical
configuration. LANScan Layout is a fast, simple tool for viewing network
organization with quick access to any device on your network. |

| Monitoring Individual Devices |
LANScan network objects report traffic, conversations and
protocols for the entire LAN. Device objects filter these views to
include only traffic to/from an individual address. Use Device views to
isolate problems and track individual usage of the network. |

| Monitoring groups of devices |
Interested in network usage by a type of network client?
LANScan classes let you group network addresses and report total network
usage by all devices in the class. |

| Monitoring for unusual network activity |
LANScan can automate monitoring of your network. LANScan
events can report excessive network usage, loss of connectivity to
critical devices, inappropriate types of network traffic and more. |
LANScan Events |
| Reporting Problems |
LANScan events monitor for problems - now you want to
alert your network administrator that a problem has occurred. LANScan
Log groups provide a flexible, way to report problems. Using multiple
Log groups lets you isolate events and report them according to their
severity. You can use 3rd party programs, email, multimedia and dialogs
to report events via Log groups. |
LANScan Log Groups |
| Network Activity Reports |
Day to day network activity can be automatically compiled
and reported via file, printer or email with LANScan reports. |
LANScan Reports |
| Long term data logging |
If you want a permanent record of network activity, use
LANScan data logging to record network statistics. LANScan creates
CSV(comma separated files) recording traffic level, active network
devices and protocols in use. Easily read by Windows applications, CSV
files are a great way to get long term data about network activity. |
CSV Data Logging |
| Testing device connectivity |
PING support for IP addresses is built in to LANScan. When
a LANScan device is created, you can schedule testing to occur
automatically and the response time will be graphed in real time. You
can also test any address on demand. |
LANScan Active Test |
| Tracing the path to a network device |
Many times slow response can be due to inefficient network
routing. That means that the most direct path to a network address is
not used. Similar to driving on the backroads when there is a freeway to
your destination. Both routes will get you there, but the freeway is
faster. LANScan helps experienced network managers find the right route
by reporting, on request, the route taken to reach a specific network
address |
LANScan Trace Route |
| Resolving network address problems |
What if you have two devices on your network that are
assigned to the same address? Odds are network performance will suffer
while one device or the other just will not work. LANScans' Address
Details feature makes it easy to see all address details for any device
on the network, and correct any problems. |
LANScan Address Details |
| The LANScan workspace |
LANScan features multiple real time views, an Explorer
window, logs and Shortcuts. |
LANScan Workspace |
| Customizing the user interface |
All User Interface features are configurable, and settings
can be retained for individual users. |
