Network Traffic Analysis
There are many devices and PC programs that will analyse performance of an Ethernet network. Freely available
programs such as Ethereal provide a simple cost effective means for more advanced analysis. By monitoring traffic on the
wired Ethernet, a better idea of regular traffic can be discovered.
Network Analysis programs make configuration of a filter for the WI-MOD-945-E a simple task.
