Features
EtherScope Network Assistant provides critical
performance metrics about your wired and wireless
LANs. The instrument’s autotest feature quickly verifies
performance at the physical layer, discovers networks
and devices, and identifies configuration and
performance problems. For in-depth analysis, the
instrument also includes a group of diagnostic tools to
enable you to locate devices on your network and verify
inter-connectivity.
The instrument’s user interface, which is presented on a
color, touch-sensitive screen, is straightforward and
intuitive. Simply by tapping a screen button, a navigation
icon, or other on-screen element, you can “drill down”
and obtain more detailed information or perform a
specific operation.
