LANdecoder32

Network Analysis Product

LANdecoder32 noun: 1. a 32-bit protocol analyzer designed for Windows 95™ and Windows NT™ 4.0 containing capabilities to not only perform protocol analysis, but also to monitor traffic, 2. software that can operate on Ethernet (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps) and Token-Ring (4 Mbps and 16 Mbps) networks, 3. technology that provides state-of-the-art on-line help with protocol examples; verb: 1. analyzes custom decodes and over 120 protocols that use either local network attachment or distributed RMON probe technology, 2. provides expert analysis of your network, 3. traps user set exceptions and thresholds; adj: 1. THE VERY BEST!

For maximum performance and high-fidelity error and statistic reporting, we recommend installing a supported adapter which is dedicated to LANdecoder32 using the AccuCapture Driver. Triticom designed its direct-to-the-adapter AccuCapture Drivers with the sole purpose of streamlining and optimizing Ethernet network monitoring and frame capture under Windows 95/NT.

Remote: Collect statistics and frames from any industry standard RMON probes attached to the network. LANdecoder32 maintains communications with the RMON probe so that network statistics can be updated and viewed on your computer.

Protocol Decodes with "Expert Analysis"

Integrating technology from our other award-winning products, LANdecoder32 contains detailed 7-layer OSI, color-coded decodes. Expert analysis is focused on TCP connection, IP addressing, NCP transactions, and IPX addressing problems. A comprehensive list of filters and triggers is available for pre-packet and post-packet capture analysis. These include frame content, station, pattern, protocol, hex, and ASCII filters. Filters can be easily configured using LANdecoder32’s drag and drop support. Sources/Destinations/Conversations windows operate at IP and IPX as well as at the MAC level.

Traffic Monitoring

LANdecoder32 features sophisticated traffic monitoring functions on top of the excellent protocol decodes. A robust set of reports can be generated at user-specified time intervals and exported and studied in popular spreadsheet applications. Several real-time displays, graphs, and network alarms can be configured. Additionally, remote alarm notification via pager or e-mail is available.

Additional Driver Support Information

NDIS is supported by installing a new "protocol" using the standard Windows "network" installation procedures and dialogs. No special configuration or installation steps are required, and no knowledge of adapter hardware settings and resources is needed. AccuCapture Drivers provide benefits over NDIS drivers that are summarized below:

Consistent error reporting. Six distinct classes of error frames are detected and reported.
Capture of error frames. Unlike NDIS, frames with low-level errors (such as Checksum errors) can be captured by LANdecoder32 using AccuCapture Drivers.
Consistent performance under heavy loads. AccuCapture Drivers are designed specifically to support the operations required for network traffic monitoring and frame capture with the highest possible level of performance. If network loads do surpass the capabilities of your adapter/machine, the fact that frames are being dropped is accurately reported.
No other drivers are required. AccuCapture Drivers require no other vendor-supplied software. They interface directly with the underlying network adapter hardware for maximum performance.
Operate as Plug-and Play devices.
