Fluke Networks OptiView™ Integrated Network Analyzer
A new approach to network analysis
Imagine the ability to see what’s happening on your network by simply
connecting one single tool. Imagine automatically discovering network
devices and seeing inside your switches and routers. Imagine using the
power of one single tool to see and understand your network. Imagine
no further. Fluke Networks OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer is a
new approach to network analysis that provides you with the Network
SuperVision you need on all seven layers, along with the speed and
simplicity that your organization demands.
Get a complete view of your network and take control with Fluke
Networks OptiView Integrated Network Analyzer.
Turn it on, connect the network cable and your network appears
automatically. The information rich Network Front Page gives you
instant vision into what is happening on your network. The graphical
color display with touchscreen user interface provides information in an
easy to understand format, while giving you the ability to easily drill
down into any area by simply touching the target of interest. LEDs
continually display the current status of network activity in 10%
increments, providing visual notification when critical performance
problems exist. Additional LEDs indicate errors, collisions and
transmitted packets.
When a connection is made to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network,
the OptiView analyzer automatically performs a cable test, identifying
any problems with the cable and measuring the cable showing the
length to the attached port. The OptiView analyzer also configures
itself with a valid IP address, even without the use of DHCP. Then, the
advanced discovery system takes over to provide you with immediate
information such as percentage utilization of bandwidth, problems
detected, protocol statistics, devices and networks discovered. The
discovery system differentiates between hosts, interconnect devices
such as switches and routers, servers, printers and SNMP devices. The
discovery system also shows the number of IP subnets, IPX, NetBIOS
and AppleTalk networks.
