M ONITOR
M ONITOR software connects to and controls any A PCON I NTELLA P ATCH Physical Layer Switch
using the PC’s serial port or TCP/IP LAN connection. The software is specifically tailored for
non-intrusive network monitoring and for sharing equipment such as traffic analyzers,
network probes and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) equipment.
A powerful addition to your network administration toolset, you use A PCON M ONITOR
software to:
• Electronically move and share monitoring equipment to increase utilization of existing
equipment.
• Increase network visibility, getting a quick snapshot of network connections to monitoring
devices.
• Gather information at-a-glance about ports, connections, data rates and more.
• Employ digital diagnostics and I NTELLA P ATCH switch monitoring.
• Control user permissions for modifying system status and software options.
Accessing M ONITOR software through W EB X requires a license key from A PCON . To find out
how to contact A PCON , see Contacting A PCON on page 4. After obtaining the key, you must
activate the M ONITOR feature as described in License Key on page 98.
To find out more about operating M ONITOR software, see the M ONITOR User Manual.

Note
M ONITOR software is not intended for in-line monitoring/electronic tapping, wherein data is
passed through the switch, with traffic in both directions mirrored non-intrusively by the
analyzer device. To implement this functionality, consider the W
EB X Realtime or Batch
interfaces.
