DynamicAccess LAN Agent 25
Offline Diagnostics
The NIC software includes offline diagnostics programs for
configuring, testing, and troubleshooting NICs. The
configuration program within the DOS diagnostics program
is used for a PC running DOS or NetWare. The 3Com NIC
diagnostics program (3Com NIC Doctor) is a
windows-based program used for a PC running
Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, or
Windows 95.
DynamicAccess LAN Agent
The DynamicAccess LAN agent is advanced network
software that improves performance, management, and
control of your network.
The DynamicAccess LAN agent enables the following
features:
■ RMON SmartAgents—Enables full RMON reporting on
all network segments, including switched networks,
without the need to place dedicated RMON probes
throughout the network. RMON SmartAgents are for
use with the DynamicAccess network edge monitor or
other remote monitoring applications.
■ Traffic prioritization (IEEE 802.1p/Q)—Ensures that
business-critical and delay-sensitive traffic (such as
multimedia applications) has priority over normal data.
■ Fast IP—Eliminates router bottlenecks and improves
performance in switched networks.
■ Efficient multicast control—Prevents flooding of
switched networks by multicast applications such
as video training, stock quotes, or online news.
The DynamicAccess LAN agent can be installed on a PC
running Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 98, or
Windows 95. See Installing the DynamicAccess LAN Agent
for a Client NIC on page 55 for more information.
For detailed information on the DynamicAccess LAN agent,
see the DynamicAccess Technology User Guide located on
the EtherCD. Information is also available at:
