Product Description
Until Datacom’s MULTINET
switch
™
, there has been no
efficient means to monitor both Local Area Network seg-
ments and Wide Area Network links passing through a hub.
The MULTINET
switch
™
from Datacom Systems, Inc. is
the key that unlocks both network visibility in Local Area
Network and Wide Area Network environments at the same
time. The MULTINET
switch
™
provides a connection that
allows access to meet whatever monitoring or analysis
requirements your networks may have.
Like many network managers, you have an urgent need to
monitor and analyze paths between work stations and hubs.
The Datacom MULTINET
switches
™
are capable of switch-
ing up to two “Network Devices” between MULTINET
segments and links.
The MULTINET
switch
™
is capable of moving Sniffer
Technologies Distributed Sniffer System
®
(DSS) Servers
transparently from one network segment or network link to
another under computer control. The 2x8
MULTINET
switches
™
are designed to permit sharing one
and two DSS Servers, respectively, between eight network
segments and eight network links or up to 16 network seg-
ments and 16 network links by daisy-chaining two
MULTINET
switches
™
.
