Monitoring the LANCOM Switch with LANmonitor

The current state of the device and all ports can be monitored using the LEDs
on the front panel. With LANmonitor the devices can be observed from any
workstation without being able to see the LEDs. Besides the status informa-
tion provided by the LEDs the LANmonitor provides further important infor-
mation on the ports.

Yellow: The port is activated in the configuration
The right-hand icon shows the link state:
