1.0 About NetMon
________________
1.1 DUN 1.0 and Win 95a:
________________________
NetMon is a replacement for the modem lights provided
by Microsoft⌐ Windows 95. This program replaces the LIGHTS.EXE
file in the SYSTEM directory of Windows 95. When NetMon is
activated, it collects and stores data about the throughput of
your internet connection. This information can be viewed by
double clicking on the modem applet in the Windows 95
System Tray.
1.2 Win95b(OSR2), DUN 1.1, DUN 1.2:
___________________________________
NetMon is a standalone program that monitors the flow of
data through the COM port. When NetMon is activated, it collects
and stores data about the throughput of your internet connection.
This information is displayed graphically in a window on your
desktop. NetMon must be activated AFTER a network connection has
been initiated using DUN.
2.0 NetMon Display
__________________
The display shows the rate of received data in red and the
rate of transmitted data in blue. The graph is updated once per
second. The average throughput for transmit and receive is
calculated over a 10 minute interval. The tick marks at the top
of the graph represent one minute intervals. The horizontal lines
represent 25%, 50% and 75% of the maximum throughput listed in
the status area at the bottom of the window.
Since NetMon is designed to operate on a wide range of internet
connections, the upper range of the graph is updated dynamically.
3.0 Running NetMon under DUN 1.0 and Win 95a
____________________________________________
Once NetMon has been installed, you must make sure the modem
lights are enabled from inside the Windows 95 internet
configuration program.
To view the throughput of your internet connection, simply
double-click the modem status icon in the Windows 95 System Tray
once you have completed your internet connection.
