Net-Control is a perfect tool to keep track of the traffic in
Ethernet LANs.
 - Net-Control gives an overview of the actual behavior of the network.
 - It allows to recognize problems early.
 - It stores data to allow analysis after a network-crash.
 - It makes you aware of ongoing changes, even if they are small.
 - It stores and presents daily station- and group-statistics.
 - It helps to identify "unknown stations" on the network.
 - Bigger LANs can be completely monitored by distributed equipment.
 - Net-Control allows remote maintenance and diagnostic.
 - Data can be stored in HTML-files (WWW). In combination with
   Windows95 and a WWW-server statistical data can be provided
   even worldwide. Consequently each station at the LAN (intranet)
   equipped with a WWW-browser and having access to the Net-Control PC
   becomes a network monitor.

Requirements:
 - IBM compatible PC system with at least 500 kb free memory and
   harddisk with at least 2.2 MB free space (demo: 2.9 MB).
 - DOS or Windows95 operating system.
 - a standard ethernet card with packet driver interface.


óInstallation of Net-Control:ò
Net-Control can be installed as a demo or -if a network card with
packet driver is present- for real measurements.
You have to decide before starting the installation, if you want
to see the demo. The demo version contains a complete tutorial
for Net-Control.
If you install Net-Control for using it with a PC networkcard
the driver setup is done during Net-Control installation.


óNet-Control License:ò  (Registration of Net-Control)
If you have bought a license of Net-Control, you can decide to register
your copy of Net-Control during the installation. You should not distribute
the registered version of Net-Control. Nor you should copy and distribute
the user manual.


óInstall from drive:ò
Select the drive or DOS path, where this installation routine is located
(usually "A:" or "B:").

óInstall to directory:ò
Input the path, where Net-Control should be installed.
Default:  C:\NET-CONT  for Net-Control
    and:  C:\NET-DEMO  for the Net-Control Tutorial.


óStore Net-Control data in HTML-Format (WWW):ò
Net-Control is able to store data in HTML format, so that it can be
viewed with any WWW-browser. If you choose to store data in this format
you have to specify the startdocumentdirectory of your WWW-Server.
Net-Control will be configured to store all data in a subdirectory
"NET-CONT" of that directory.


óStarting Net-Control:ò

  ônc-start [go] [mono]õ

Command line parameters:
    go      Net-Control starts sampling of data directly.

    mono    If you are using a VGA/EGA card and a monochrome
            screen.

óRzK Ethernet Box:ò
For more detailed and exact measurements in Ethernet LAN RzK has
develloped the "Ethernet Box". This Box gathers all statistical data
and measures load, errors and collisions by hardware. Please contact
us if you have interest in this.

to this software, its quality, performance, merchantibility or fitnes for
any particular purposes. The entire risk is with the user. In the event of
