AXON Networks Inc. provides client/server products for Distributed LAN Management, with agents running on AXON's high-performance probes. AXON's applications provide an easy-to-use view of your network segment and/or ring, which hides the complexity of RMON. The first two modules in the AXON product family provide 100% compliant RMON implementation that can run with any RMON agent. LANservant Manager Statistics Management Module is a highly intuitive view into RMON data showing graphs, tables, pie charts, and dials of RMON variables featuring a comprehensive set of easy-to- configure alarms and history tables. Unique segment-at-a-glance view shows network health data. LANservant Manager Packet Decode Management Module is an easy-to-set graphical filter set-up and control with decodes for TCP/IP, DECNet, Novell, AppleTalk, Banyan, SNA, and ISO protocol stacks. Filters can be combined to support accurate capture. Decodes are easy to read and the unique conversation trace feature shows response times for any captured conversation. AXON's Enterprise Communication Analysis Module and Traffic Transmission Management Module provide client/server products for Distributed LAN Management. These add-in modules require a unique specialized MIB agent running in the AXON LANservant Probe software for the workstation. The third and fourth module in the AXON product family is LANservant Manager Enterprise Communication Analysis Module, a powerful data collection capability for higher layer statistics. This is a powerful tool for collecting, interpreting, and exporting higher layer protocol statistics. Full 7-layer packet statistics collection for IP, IPX, DECNet, etc. Segment, host, and matrix statistics for all major protocol types can be displayed in intuitive views including bar graphs, graphs and pie charts, or exported as tables.

LANservant Manager Traffic Transmission Management module provides probe-based transmission of packets, including those collected from the network. AXON's unique DLM technology means the user chooses when and how to add applications. Traffic Transmission can be used for troubleshooting and "what-if" analysis of additional network load.
