Paisley If you have FastPath 2s or 3s with PROM versions 4.2 or better; or FastPath 4s with PROM version 4.1 or better, you need Kinetics' LAN Ranger. LAN Ranger gives a graphical, user-friendly view of the network topology and the services. It provides echo testing of nodes(even gateways), RTMP packet display, graphs gateway statistics, and: * Monitors and manages internetworks with multiple FastPath gateways * Displays network services * Keeps track of gateway performance * Tracks Network activity in real time * Provides event logging, zone verification, plus much more For more information, go to the Kinetics booth at MacWorld, where the unmasking of the LAN Ranger will take place. Prepare for a pleasant surprise.
