Page 16: Product Overview
Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Product Overview The application traffic monitor targets control of the MU120112A/21A/22A/ 31A/32A/38A module installed in the main unit, and monitors the traffic intensity of packet flowing through on Ethernet interface at a resolution of 1 ms, and displays a fluctuation of counted values on the graph. As shown in Figure 1.1-1, a traffic that seems to be stable at 100 Mbit/s may include sudden large fluctuation when measuring at a higher resolution. -
Page 17: Features
Features 1.2 Features Real-time monitoring The main unit can monitor the rate of traffic (up to 4 flows ) transferred on a network, with high-resolution and in real-time *1: The maximum number of flows per port that can be measured is 2 for the MU120112A module, and 4 for the MU120121A/22A/31A/32A/38A module. - Page 18 Chapter 1 Overview Multiuser/multiunit The multiuser function allows up to four users including a user who operates the main unit itself to control the main unit simultaneously. MD1230B User1 Network Control Control Control MD1230B User2 User3 User4 Figure 1.2-2 Multiuser control The multiunit function allows a user to control up to two main units including the main unit itself simultaneously.
