1. About MLOG utility
---------------------
MLOG is a LAN event-logging utility by ABIT & MG-SOFT. This version logs peak
network utilization and the following protocol packet types:
* AppleTalk open session
* DEC LAT start
* DECnet NSP connection initialize
* IPX NCP create connection
* NBEUI session initialize
* TCP/IP synchronize
MLOG utility is running on top of the packet driver (V1.09 or higher), which
is one of the standard interfaces for accessing the LAN adapter hardware.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| You may order the customized version of MLOG utility which will run on a |
| dedicated LAN driver and which will log events that you specify. Please |
| contact us at the addresses that are listed in section More information. |

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
==============================================================================
2. Installing MLOG utility
--------------------------
To install the MLOG utility you should create the MLOG home directory.
It is NOT recommended to place the MLOG files on the MONET LAN analyzer's
home directory since the SYSTEM.BIN and USER.BIN files aren't compatible.
After creating the MLOG home directory, run the MLOG210.EXE file in order to
extract the distribution files. You will get the following files:
MLOG.EXE MLOG utility
NEWALIAS.EXE NEWALIAS utility
READ.ME this file
SYSTEM.BIN system aliases (binary) file
ETHNAME.NAM example of the Ethernet address alias file
IPNAME.NAM example of the IP address alias file
You may wish to edit the *.NAM files as described in the following section,
Address alias files, and run the NEWALIAS utility in order to produce the
USER.BIN file.
Before successful start-up of the MLOG utility, you should also install the
packet driver TSR.
==============================================================================
3. Address alias files
----------------------
While running the MLOG utility, if you want to have the address fields
replaced by machine names, edit the following ASCII files:
ETHNAME.NAM (for the Ethernet address aliases)
IPNAME.NAM (for the IP address aliases)
If you have the UNIX environment or existing IP network, you may copy the
contents of the `hosts' file into the IPNAME.NAM file, since the file
format is compatible.
After you have created the NAM files and every time after you update them,
run the NEWALIAS utility in order to update the USER.BIN file which is
consulted during the start-up of the MLOG utility.
Of course, if you already have MONET LAN analyzer, you may use the NAM
files from the MONET installation. But don't use the USER.BIN file directly
since the file format is different - you have to run the NEWALIAS utility
that is included in this distribution. And vice-versa, don't use this
version of the NEWALIAS utility to produce the USER.BIN file that is used
by MONET LAN analyzer software.
==============================================================================
4. About packet driver
----------------------
The Packet driver is a TSR driver (Terminate and Stay Resident) and should be
installed before running the MLOG utility.
The packet driver software for a certain type of LAN adapter is usually
supplied by the LAN adapter vendor, together with all other supported network
drivers (MLID/ODI, NDIS,...).
If the packet driver is not supplied together with your LAN adapter, you may
download the software from numerous BBS and anonymous FTP sites. You may also
find the packet driver software on many shareware CD releases (Simtel,...)
For the successful installation of the packet driver please refer to the
instructions enclosed to the packet driver itself. Anyhow, usually you should
specify the software interrupt number (in the range from 0x60 to 0x7F) and
the hardware interrupt and I/O port numbers according to your LAN adapter
configuration.
For example, If you are using the NE2000 compatible LAN adapter configured
for the interrupt 12 (0xC) and I/O port 0x300, then the packet driver can
be installed by typing:
NE2000 0x60 0xC 0x300
on a DOS prompt. In case of successful installation the driver responds with
something similar to:
> Packet driver for NE2000, version :.4.1
> Packet driver skeleton copyright 1988-92, Crynwr Software.
> This program is free software; see the file COPYING for details.
> NO WARRANTY; see the file COPYING for details.
>
> Packet driver is at segment 1D4F
> Using 80[123]86 I/O instructions.
> Interrupt number 0xC (12)
> I/O port 0x300 (768)
Thus, if you have a LAN adapter supported by the packet driver, you should be
able to run the MLOG utility.

6. About MONET LAN analyzer
---------------------------
MONET LAN analyzer is a high-performance PC-based set of powerful tools for
controlling the traffic on the local area network. MONET LAN analyzer
contains a wide variety of functions which offers a comprehensive support to
network managers and administrators, software developers and troubleshooters
in many aspects of their network activities. MONET LAN analyzer helps to
increase productivity, to optimize network performance and to decrease
network downtime.
The main features of MONET LAN analyzer are as follows:
Real time monitoring: Volume of the network traffic is displayed in many
different manners. A wide range of parameters indicating network condition
are computed in real time and periodically updated (utilization and traffic
volume, time-stamps and delay times, average values, peak times and values,
various error counters,...).
Protocol decoding: Support for packets encapsulated into IEEE 802.2 (LLC
and SNAP), IEEE 802.3 (Novell IPX) and Ethernet II frames. Multi-level
interpreters for all major LAN protocol families: AppleTalk, DECnet,
IPX/SPX, NCP (NetWare), NBeui, NetBios, SMB, TCP/IP, SNMP, XNS,....
Network management: Packets from the network are classified according to the
classifying filter structure. Classifying filters can be automatically
generated (classification based on some pre-defined criteria) or by
defining user-specified data field classification criterion.
Powerful graphical representation of the monitoring statistics.
Traffic generation: Transmitting user-defined packets to the network for
network testing purposes (triggering network events or loading network
with heavy traffic).
Multi-level filtering: Two levels of capture filters and triggers, display
filters, classifying filter structures,.... Filters are completely
user-definable and easy to build. Many sample filters provided.
Convenient file support: File support for all internal data structures.
Report generators and data export into standard spreadsheet and graphics
file formats.
Network security: Hardware key and password capability for preventing
unauthorized access to the network.
System requirements: IBM PC/AT or compatible computer using Intel 386 or
higher microprocessor, XMS RAM extension (recommended 4 MB or more),
DOS V3.30 or higher operating system, XMS memory manager himem.sys. A wide
range of LAN adapters is supported, either by MGD interface (MONET Genuine
Driver) or through some standard interfaces, like MLID/ODI drivers or
Packet driver V1.09 drivers.
