Intel Express Routers

Easy setup and management

Intel Device View for Windows* is included with each Intel Express Router for simple and comprehensive SNMP- based management within Windows 95 and Windows NT* environments. This powerful tool offers a simple graphical interface for real-time monitoring, conﬁguring and trouble- shooting of the router and all WAN and LAN links.

Features include:

■Quick Setup. Intel Express Routers are easy to install and conﬁgure, even for users who have little or no WAN or router expertise. The conﬁguration of just a few parameters using the simple menu-assisted format will satisfy the needs of most installations. Intelligent cross-checking helps the user avoid “impossible” conﬁgurations, and auto-detection of cables and WAN port type ensures proper connections. For more demanding applications, advanced conﬁguration capabilities are easily accessed and can be implemented with the router online.

■SNMP Monitoring and Conﬁguration. Intel Device View for Windows uses standard and proprietary MIBs to manage Express Routers over the LAN, providing support for most SNMP counters and allowing MIB viewing with other SNMP management tools. The data is clearly organized by port, and you can quickly navigate down protocol layers to access the level of information you need.

■RMON Support. Intel Express Routers support groups 1-3 and group 9 of the RMON standard for monitoring of the local area network and the router. The supported groups include statistics, history, alarm and events.

■Clear Informational Graphs. Built-in graphical analysis tools offer a clear look at real-time traffic statistics. Use built-in or user-deﬁned parameter combinations for both statistical displays and graphs.

■Easy Firmware Upgrades. The included Software Upgrade Wizard is an integrated Windows-based interface that guides you step-by-step through the upgrade process. In addition, Intel Express Routers let you pretest new software while you continue to run the original software. This avoids downtime by allowing full testing of any new conﬁguration before it is released for full-scale operation.

Intel Device View for Windows* includes a new explorer view that presents all WAN connections in an easy-to-navigate protocol tree. This, coupled with intelligent diagnostics, can literally save hours troubleshooting a tough link problem by directing you to the level where the problem exists.

■Straightforward Diagnostics. Unlike most log-based diagnostic tools, Device View for Windows sorts errors by link and prioritizes them in order of seriousness. It also provides an ordered list of suggestions for corrective action.

■Management Platform Independence. Intel Device View for Windows can be integrated in Windows NT and Windows 95 management platforms. Its logical, easy-to-use,menu-based layout offers full integration with the Windows user interface.
