MONITORING
OPTIONS
Monitoring
serial
communications
by
Frontline's
Serialtest
or
NetDecoder
analyzer
is
passive.
Some
serial
analyzers
receive
the
data
from
one
side
of
the
circuit
under
test
and
retransmit
it
to
the
other
side.
The
Serialtest
and
NetDecoder
analyzers
do
not
work
that
way.
The
RS
‐
232
ComProbe
II
taps
the
circuit
under
test
using
a
simple
"Y"
cable
and
there
are
no
active
electronics
inserted
into
the
communication
path.
To
assist
customers
in
tapping
into
Async
RS
‐
232
bus
configurations,
Frontline
is
providing
customers
with
a
lot
of
flexibility
to
address
different
monitoring
situations.
