Inline Mode
They say two ports are better than one…
Note
NetTool can’t tell you about what it doesn’t see. NetTool must sense traffic on a network or device so it can supply protocol or health information.
Inline means NetTool is connected between two devices simultaneously like a PC and hub. Use this mode to verify that a PC will communicate properly with the network.
