• The Synwatch utility enables you to track connections
and data traffic on the Serial port.
NDIS Driver
The NDIS driver emulates a LAN adapter. It enables
transportation and routing of TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocols
over WAN serial lines, using X.25, PPP, or Frame Relay
protocols.
Along with the Base driver and NDIS driver, the NDIS
software package also includes the following utilities:
• The NDIS Driver Setup utility enables you to set up
logical adapters for NDIS communications.
• The NDIS Driver Log records NDIS driver events. It
enables you to view the events in the NDIS Driver Log
dialog box or the Windows NT Event Viewer.
Using the NDIS Driver Setup utility, you can configure as
many as four NDIS logical adapters in a Windows NT system.
(A logical adapter represents a unique configuration of
connections to be handled by the NDIS driver.) As a result, the
NDIS driver can connect to four different IP and/or IPX
networks seamlessly. However, the driver needs to be installed
only once.
