BANGALORE: Fluke Networks today announced the launch of its enhanced EtherScope Series II Network Assistant.
The new Security Scan and Locate features reduce the time to locate a rogue wireless local area network (WLAN) device by 75 per cent, as measured by the time spent on the same task using an omni-directional antenna found on most PC radio cards, Fluke said in a statement.
The advanced WLAN Locate feature uses an external, directional antenna to quickly identify and pinpoint the location of unauthorized wireless access points. This includes access points in ceilings and on floors above and below, which saves time in a multi-floor environment.
EtherScope Series II Network Assistant incorporates RFC 2544 tests for measuring throughput, latency and frame loss. These tests are bundled together with EtherScope's current Internetwork throughput option and traffic generator. Private network owners and service providers now have the ability to perform a fast, easy and RFC-based means of verifying network performance.
Concurrent with the new RFC 2544 tests and advanced WLAN Locate ability, EtherScope will now support Russian as a user-selectable language. It displays its user interface, all desktop applications on the unit, report headers, and help screens in eight different languages (English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian).
EtherScope Series II Network Assistant is available for immediate delivery through Fluke Networks sales partners worldwide.
