Inline Mode
They say two ports are better than one…
Note
NetTool can’t tell you about what it doesn’t
see. NetTool must sense traffic on a network
or device so it can supply protocol or health
information.
Inline means NetTool is connected between two
devices simultaneously like a PC and hub. Use this
mode to verify that a PC will communicate properly with
the network.
