5.1 LANmonitor—know what's happening
The LANmonitor includes a monitoring tool with which you can view the most
important information on the status of your routers on your monitor at any
time under Windows operating systems—of all of the LANCOM routers in the
network.
Many of the internal messages generated by the devices are converted to
plain text, thereby helping you to troubleshoot.
You can also use LANmonitor to monitor the traffic on the router's various
interfaces to collect important information on the settings you can use to opti-
mize data traffic.
In addition to the device statistics that can also be read out during a Telnet or
terminal session or using WEBconfig, a variety of other useful functions are
also available in the LANmonitor, such as the enabling of an additional charge
limit.
With LANmonitor you can only monitor those devices that you can
access via IP (local or remote). With this program you cannot access a
router via the serial interface.
5.1.1 Extended display options
Under View / Show Details you can activate and deactivate the following
display options:
̈ Error messages
̈ Diagnostic messages
̈ System information
Many important details on the status of the LANCOM are not dis-
played until the display of the system information is activated. These
include, for example, the ports and the charge management.There-
fore, we recommend that interested users activate the display of the
system information.
