LANmonitor—know what's going on
213
Note: Telnet-access to the device must be enabled to carry out trace re-
quests with LANmonitor.
The trace function in LANmonitor exceeds the standard trace functions avail-
able from Telnet and offers greater convenience in the generation and anal-
ysis of traces. For example, the current trace configuration for activating the
necessary trace commands can be stored to a configuration file. An experi-
enced service technician can set up a trace configuration and provide it to a
less experienced user for executing specialized trace requests for a device.
The trace results can also be stored in a file and returned to the technician
for analysis.
LANmonitor has the following buttons for operating the trace module:
Opens a pre-defined configuration for the trace command. This al-
lows you to carry out trace commands precisely as required by the
service technician, for example.
Stores the current trace configuration to be passed on to a user.
Opens a file with trace results for viewing in the trace module.
Saves the current trace results to a file.
Clears the current display or trace results.
Starts outputting the trace results as produced by the current config-
uration and automatically switches to the trace-result display mode.
As soon as the trace results are returned, the other buttons are de-
activated.
Stops the output of trace results.
Switches to the mode for configuring the trace output.
