Software Distribution module allows you to easily distribute software to workstations
on your local area network from a central location. The Desktop Manager module
allows you to remotely access and obtain diagnostic information about the
workstations on your network. The Desktop Remote module gives you complete
control of a Windows workstation from a remote location through a modem and
phone line.
The Server Management tools include Server Monitor and Server Status modules.
The Server Monitor module tracks and graphs server parameters. The Server Status
module monitors the binderies of up to eight types of servers, either individually or all
eight at once.
The Wire Management tools includes a Traffic Monitor, Performance Monitor, and
Software Probe. The Traffic Monitor tracks and displays network traffic information.
The Performance Monitor tracks network traffic to provide statistical information about
what applications are running on the network. The Software Probe gathers data for
the traffic monitor and performance monitor.
