LANmonitor automatically creates a new entry in the device list and ini-

and enter any web page you like. LANmonitor now shows a connection
being established on one channel and the name of the remote site being
called. As soon as the connection is established, a plus sign against the
communication channel entry indicates that further information on this
channel is available. Click on the plus sign or double-click such entry to
open a tree structure in which you can view various information.
