ELSA LANmonitor

The ELSA LANmonitor includes a small monitoring tool with which you can view the most
important information on the status of your router on your monitor at any time under
Windows operating systems. Many of the internal messages generated by the device
are converted to plain text, thereby helping you to troubleshoot.
Installing ELSA LANmonitor
Usually, ELSA LANmonitor is automatically installed together with the ELSA LANconfig
configuration software on the computer from which you wish to configure your router.
If ELSA LANmonitor is not yet installed on your computer, place the ELSA LANCOM in
your CD drive. If the setup program does not start up automatically after insertion of the
CD, start Windows Explorer, click on 'autorun.exe' on the CD ELSA LANCOM and follow
the instructions in the install program.
During the installation you should activate the 'ELSA LANmonitor' option.
With ELSA LANmonitor you can only monitor those devices that you can access inband
via the local network. This computer must also have the TCP/IP network protocol
installed on it. With this program you cannot access any router connected to the serial
interface.
