The Enterprise LANMeter® Series provides you with troubleshooting and management capabilities for 10/100 Ethernet and Token Ring networks. With the SwitchWizard™ and WideAreaWizard™ options you can browse switch, router and other SNMP statistics in a graphical user friendly manner. You can also dig into frame relay, ISDN and T1/E1 configurations to check utilization and connectivity problems. For 672, 675, 682 and 685 users, enhancement kits are available to allow you to convert your existing LANMeter product to a 683 or 686 Enterprise LANMeter capable of direct connection to Fast Ethernet networks. Additionally, our Priority Support Gold Members automatically receive a 20% discount on these enhancements. Plummeting per-port costs for Fast Ethernet hubs and user demands for higher bandwidth to the desktop are forcing many networks to adopt 100BASE-TX as the technology of choice for growth and for replacement of aging hardware. To support this trend, Fluke added direct connectivity for 100BASE-TX to the already popular Enterprise LANMeter series test tools. The 683 (10/100 Ethernet) and 686 (10/100 Ethernet, and Token Ring) Enterprise LANMeters take advantage of the support for Fast Ethernet offered by implementing a complete auto-negotiate sensing capability. Users may connect to 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet drops indiscriminately, and the instrument will automatically detect which speed is present and link accordingly. Or, if advanced testing is appropriate, the user may configure 10 or 100 Mbps explicitly in order to force a connection at the desired   Network Monitor   Enterprise LANMeter's extensive network monitoring capabilities include: Ethernet Network Statistics - Monitors the general health of a network by calculating statistics for key network parameters. The results show Utilization, Collisions, Errors, and Broadcasts as average, maximum, and total values, in numeric and bar graph formats. Error Statistics - Monitors the types and sources of errors. Displays chart which shows error distributions by error type. For Error Types that are preceded by the icon, highlight the specific Error Type and press the "Zoom In" softkey to obtain a list of stations sourcing those errors.   Token Ring Network Statistics - Monitors the general health of a network by calculating statistics for key network parameters. The results show Utilization and Soft Errors in numeric and bar graph formats, and other key frames as average, maximum, and total numerical values. Error Statistics - Monitors the types and sources of errors. Displays results in numerical and pie chart formats. Highlight a category and press the "Zoom In" softkey for fault domain address information. Token Rotation - Calculates the time for the token to travel completely around the ring. This test shows the last, average, and maximum values for token rotation time and the number of active stations. The LANMeter analyzer also reports when token rotation is outside of the normal range. Ring Stations - Monitors the Network and compiles an ordered list of stations inserted into the ring. The list is in the correct physical order around the ring, starting with the active monitor. Stations may be displayed in the following address formats, depending on which are known; symbolic name, manufacturer prefix, or hexadecimal MAC address. Use the active monitor history screen to view a time-stamped log of which stations have been the active monitor. This helps you isolate hard-to-find problems related to which station is the active monitor. Beaconing Rings - Push one button and, in seconds, the LANMeter analyzer will insert into a beaconing ring and automatically identify the fault domain. No more wading through screens of decodes to extract the buried fault domain information. A beacon alert pop-up window is displayed when the LANMeter analyzer detects beacon frames on the network.   Ethernet and Token Ring Protocol Mix - Displays a percentage-ranked listing of the top protocols measured by frame count on the local segment. The LANMeter analyzer automatically identifies encapsulation types for IPX. Highlight a protocol and press the "Zoom In" softkey for a list of the top stations transmitting that protocol. The list of all protocols and stations recorded for each protocol may be printed or viewed. Top Senders - Monitors the busiest transmitting nodes on the local network. The LANMeter analyzer can be configured to filter on a single address and show the top senders to a particular station. Top Receivers - Monitors the busiest receiving nodes on the network. Information is displayed in the same format as Top Senders. Top Broadcasters - Monitors the type and source of broadcasts and can be used to identify misconfigured stations. The LANMeter analyzer distinguishes between broadcast, multi-cast, and non-broadcast frames for Ethernet. For Token Ring, the LANMeter analyzer distinguishes between all routes, single routes, no route control, and non-broadcast frames. Traffic generation - Traffic generation is used to stress test network components. Adding traffic reveals media and other physical layer problems on networks. The traffic generator may be run concurrently on Ethernet networks with Network Statistics, Error Statistics, and Collision Analysis, and on Token Ring networks with Network Statistics, Error Statistics, and Ring Stations. Use traffic generation to characterize network behavior in high traffic circumstances. User selectable parameters include frames-per-second of added traffic and frame size. To assist in testing bridges and routers the LANMeter analyzer automatically builds IP and IPX headers, all you need to supply is the source and destination address. While the test is running, users may increase or decrease the current frame rate and size on the fly with the cursor keys. This is particularly useful when trying to locate sources of throughput problems and failure conditions. For Token Ring networks, select among three different worst-case data patterns. These patterns are known to test for correlated phase jitter sensitivity resulting from cabling, adapter card, and interoperability problems. MAC Matrix - Monitors the busiest transmitting nodes on the local network and displays test results by Source/Destination address pairs. Test results include frame count transmitted by each address in the pair combination. When address filtering is on, displayed conversations are limited to those that are to or from the filtered address. With filtering off, the test tracks the first 512 conversing station pairs seen on the network, displaying the busiest eight. A list of all conversations recorded as transmitting during the test may be printed or viewed. Switch Testing Improved Virtual Network (VLAN) Support - Access to private MIB information and enhanced detection of VLAN traffic, such as Cisco's Inter-Switch Link (ISL) protocol, allows the Enterprise LANMeter to monitor individual backbone segments for bandwidth consumption and top talkers. Information about detected VLAN traffic, and VLAN configurations on a per-port basis for the most popular switches are available at a keystroke, and without any required configuration of the Enterprise LANMeter. Optional SwitchWizard - "Network requirements are driving an evolution in networking technology," said Manny Rivelo, Systems Engineer Manager at Cisco Systems, a world leader in switching technology and a beta user of the SwitchWizard edition of Enterprise LANMeter. "As more people deploy switching into their networks, the tools used to manage shared media will be severely limited. The powerful SwitchWizard capabilities of the Fluke Enterprise LANMeter address these limitations." Documenting which user(s) are attached to which switch port has been a labor-intensive challenge until now. The SwitchWizard™ option now provides the ability to store bridge forwarding table information for export to a PC or printer from all standard switch products via a single keystroke. This ability will permit network support staff to significantly enhance the quality of network documentation with little effort. The SwitchWizard edition of the Enterprise LANMeter series performs a Segment Discovery test, which analyzes the attached IP segment and catalogues all critical network attributes. In addition to identifying problems, searching for IP routers, subnet information, IP servers, including DHCP, BOOTP and DNS servers, SNMP agents and local hosts, the enhanced Segment Discovery feature will also identify bridges and switches. Once the desired switch is identified, the MultiPort Statistics function can be run to determine what is occurring at each port of the switch. The test displays utilization and error percentages for up to eight ports simultaneously, while monitoring the other ports in the background. The user may sort the data by port number, average utilization or average error rates. The MultiPort Statistics test will display information for any type of port, including 10BASE-T, Token Ring, Serial Links, Fast Ethernet, and FDDI. Additional tests, such as Statistics Detail and Port Detail provide additional information on switches. Statistics Detail gives utilization, error rates and broadcast traffic levels as well as the capability of viewing the types of errors seen at that port. Port Detail displays the list of MAC addresses from the port's bridge forwarding table, together with their associated IP addresses and DNS names from the Segment Discovery test. SwitchWizard is available as either an option or upgrade to the Fluke Enterprise LANMeter. For more information and pricing, contact your local sales organization.   Remote Access Web Enabled Access Web Browser Remote Viewing Any Java-enabled web browser now allows senior network support staff to assist network technicians or remote office staff in diagnosing and interpreting network problems with the Enterprise LANMeter.  A quick telephone call to provide the instrument's current IP address permits anyone with a web browser to see the current instrument display.   No more awkward dialogs where the experienced technician is trying to guess over the phone what test the user is running, or trying to imagine what critical bit of information the user didn't think was important enough to mention.   By using the web browser reload or refresh feature, changes to the instrument display are available almost as quickly as for the person holding the instrument. The web browser may also be used to retrieve stored test results and view configurations remotely.   Features available through virtually any web browser include: View the current Enterprise LANMeter display Retrieve test results Retrieve screen captures Retrieve station lists Retrieve data logs E-mail Support for Test Results Increased use of TCP/IP driven by Internet access has provided an opportunity for Fluke to facilitate the easy retrieval of test results from the Enterprise LANMeter. After configuring the instrument with a valid TCP/IP address and the identity of your mail server, all test results stored in the instrument may be immediately e-mailed to your mail account via a just-tested network connection. Stored results that may be e-mailed in this manner include: Test results Screen captures Station lists Data logs   Network Documentation Improved Documentation Capabilities Documenting which user(s) are attached to which switch port has been a labor intensive challenge until now. The SwitchWizard™ option now provides the ability to store bridge forwarding table information for export to a PC or printer from all standard switch products via a single keystroke. This ability will permit network support staff to significantly enhance the quality of network documentation with little effort. The Data Log function has also been enhanced to permit recording of an entire week's worth of statistics. The logging function permits configurations of five or seven consecutive 24-hour log files with no user intervention. These log files may then be exported to a PC for processing into charts and graphs and detailed analysis by the optional Network Inspector LANMeter Edition or LANMeter Reporter Software, or your own spreadsheet application.     Please check our Huge Inventory with savings of up to 80% off of retail on Cat5/5e/6 LAN Cable Certifiers and Fiber Optic OTDR's, Fusion Splicers, CATV Meters, Fiber Optic Kits, Sources, Meters, Tools, Network Analyzers and much more.
